A sorry state of current affairs

Article Abstract:

The BBC television programme 'Panorama' has for many years had a strong reputation for very high quality investigative journalism. However, it now appears that the BBC is rethinking the future of 'Panorama.' The budget for this programme has been reduced by 15% since 1995, while filming schedules have been cut from 14 days to 11 days. The programme has lost or is losing experienced producers, some of whom have become frustrated by the fact that it is no longer shown at peak viewing time. However, some observers feel that the programme's heritage will provide it with valuable stability at this time of uncertainty.

New kids on the box

Article Abstract:

The new generation of executives in television broadcasting in the UK is made up of people who are themselves the products of television. They therefore contrast strongly with the older generation of television executives, whose origins often lie in journalism or the theatre. The key factor in the success of the new generation of television executives is the creation of Channel 4, which in many cases gave younger television enthusiasts the opportunity to establish themselves in the industry.

Premier teams prepare to kick into digital TV

Article Abstract:

The UK's top football clubs may move increasingly towards taking control of television coverage of their matches. This could be particularly the case if the Office of Fair Trading wins its case against the deal between Premier League clubs, Sky and the BBC. However, there are still a number of issues to resolve, including how football clubs would actually charge viewers and the impact this would have. It is not clear whether pay-per-view would be effective for an entire football league.
