Britbox set for rights battle | News | Broadcast

"Over time, there will be real tension around rights negotiations," said one senior indie figure. "The challenge for the PSBs is that they are nowhere near fully funding shows – so the idea that the likes of Amazon, Disney and Netflix will allow them to carve out exclusive UK SVoD rights is ludicrous. "The US giants will start to consider UK programming as a low-level investment because if a show isn’t driving real value [in its home market] then there is no point in them putting proper money in." - www.broadcastnow.co.uk

The corporation's board is meeting next week and is expected to approve a deal to take control of the bulk of UKTV, which broadcasts 10 free-to-air and pay-TV channels, including a one-off payment of as much as 250m. UKTV is currently jointly owned by BBC Studios, the corporation's commercial arm, and the Eurosport owner, Discovery. The BBC has been approached in the past about selling its stake in UKTV, worth at least 500m, but instead has decided to spend big to take control of the hugely profitable business. - www.theguardian.com

Assessing the Delivery of BBC Radio 5 Live’s Public Service Commitments

X Later, as the BBC concentrated greater resources around its television news channel, BBC News 24, and its website, senior BBC journalists briefed media correspondents that 5 Live's commitment to hard news was being diluted. The circularity of this definition, and the fact that the Corporation and its competitors routinely deploy 'news' and 'current affairs' as if they are common-sense terms and universally understood raises obvious difficulties for those who wish to measure news provision against commitments how can we assess whether the BBC is delivering the supply of news it has promised to deliver if we cannot distinguish news from other types of factual or speech-based programming Fortunately, the language the BBC uses to describe its dedication to news offers additional guidance. - centreforjournalism.co.uk
