Interesting article in BROADCAST (echoed by Channel 4 today) about the death of 'mid-range' TV - the UK programming landscape is polarising to either big budget, noisy primetime shows or cheap volume plays. I'm not entirely sure of the definition of 'mid-range', but the US/Streamer strategy of slick, big budget shows with established IP doesn't always work... look at ACOLYTE and RINGS OF POWER. On the flip side, some 'mid-range' UK shows were huge successes and the incubators of the biggest talent in the world - stars like Ricky Gervais, Sacha Baron Cohen and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Does the world not see us as a bit midrange, quaint and quirky? Aren't we tweed-clad sleuths and Time Lords, Mr Bean and waffling aristocrats? Rather than aspiring for slick blockbusters maybe we should celebrate our idiosyncrasies and have the space to make content that's a bit weird and a bit mid level - because they might turn into our biggest hits?

It’s no secret that viewing habits have undergone a seismic shift in recent years, impacting audiences of all ages. With younger generations spending triple the time on platforms like YouTube and TikTok compared to traditional linear TV, the writing is on the wall. 📺 The rise of YouTube via CTV, the growing popularity of FAST channels, and the introduction of ad-supported tiers on streaming giants like Amazon and Netflix are further accelerating this trend. 🚀 The question isn’t if the ad market will tip in favor of digital, but when. At Channel 4 our ambition is to become a genuinely digital-first public service streamer by 2030. Brands and platforms alike must adapt to this new reality to stay relevant and capture the attention of evolving audiences. 🎯 #digitalmarketing #adtech #media #streaming

When I was in the biz TCA was a big thing and I shared some of my fondest memories on a post from my blog “Revenge of the Masked Scheduler"

Correct Answer: A) "After finishing his homework, the television was turned on by John." Explanation: The correct answer is A) "After finishing his homework, the television was turned on by John."

What a great way to start the week 😀 ! My article on Netflix and the transnationalisation of teen television, together with Tim Raats and Leo Van Audenhove, has just been published in Television & New Media. In this piece, we explore four key dimensions of Netflix’s transnationalisation of teen television. We conclude that, beyond simply diversifying its catalog, Netflix has strategically integrated various aspects of diversity within the teen genre as part of its broader transnational expansion strategy and cultural politics. https://lnkd.in/e8GzKxQP

Let's be real - finding anything well done on TV these days is like finding a diamond in a pile of rocks. It's as if mediocrity has become the standard, and truly exceptional content has become a rare species on the small screen. With a plethora.... https://ift.tt/z5VwxJ9
