How UKTV's Dave went from 'ridiculous idea' to award-winning channel

The rebrand from UKTV G2 to Dave in 2007 came about after UKTV brand tracker data revealed a stark disconnect between the original channel's reach and its spontaneous awareness. While he loved the idea of calling the channel a name, it took the wealth of research and insight to convince him - and the shareholders - that Dave was a good idea. - www.marketingweek.com

BBC to take control of UKTV in £200m deal with Discovery

UKTV, which runs a mix of 10 free-to-air and pay-TV channels, is jointly owned by Discovery and BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC. Under the terms of the deal the BBC will take control of seven of the UKTV channels - while Discovery will get Good Food, Eden and Really - for almost 200m. The BBC has agreed to pay about 100m in cash, take on about 70m of debt from UKTV, and also give Discovery a 10m share of the dividend that UKTV has amassed in its current financial year. The BBC has used a combination of cash, debt and a content deal to take control of UKTV because it does not have the financial firepower for a straight buyout of Discovery. - www.theguardian.com

Apple TV+: less a rival to Netflix, more a smug religious cult

The boring, sprawling 100-minute broadcast ended with Apple CEO Tim Cook tearing up as he delivered a namaste to Oprah Winfrey, the last of a string of A-list contributors, also including Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Aniston, who, live on the stage of the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino, previewed shows they are making for the new Apple TV app. Equally revealingly, ahead of announcing the starry original shows, the launch lauded the use of the Apple TV app for navigating and curating content from theoretically rival streamers, including Amazon Prime, HBO, Showtime, and, strikingly for UK viewers, BritBox, the planned new BBC/ITV product. - www.theguardian.com

The future of video viewing: forecasts to 2028 | Mar 2019 | Enders Analysis

Linear TV is still a mass market medium, watched by 90% of the UK population each week. However, our latest viewing forecasts predict broadcasters will account for two-thirds of all video viewing in 2028, down from c. 80% today, due to the relentless rise of online video services Total viewing will continue to increase as more short-form content is squeezed into people's days, particularly on portable devices, but the key battleground for eyeballs will remain the TV screen The online shift has already had a huge impact among younger age groups, with only 55% of under-35s' current viewing to broadcasters. Older audiences are slowly starting to follow suit, but have a long way to go - www.endersanalysis.com
