    Prof Cathy Johnson on Who Wins and Loses from the ITV-Sky Deal and the New Media Green Paper

    Prof Cathy Johnson, a leading expert on public service media who has advised Ofcom and contributed to numerous parliamentary select committees and government investigations, discusses the implications of the ITV–Sky deal for ITV, Channel 4, ITN and Sky News, and what it means for the shrinking group of purely British public service broadcasters. We unpack the government’s green paper, “Watch This Space: A New Strategic Direction for UK Media,” and what it suggests – and fails to decide – about the long‑term future of public service broadcasting, including the BBC’s charter and funding. We also explore why concepts like prominence, discoverability and amplification now sit at the heart of media policy: who gets seen first on smart TVs, streaming platforms and social media; what counts as a “trustworthy” news provider; and whether voluntary deals with tech platforms can ever be enough. We look at Ofcom’s role, the Online Safety Act’s definition of news publishers, the pressure on Channel 4 and local news, and how citizens can still influence media policy.

    Mark Damazer on BBC Cuts, Digital-First, and the Fight for Public Service Broadcasting

    Former BBC Radio 4 Controller, Deputy Director of News and BBC Trustee Mark Damazer reflects on the BBC cuts announced last week and how such decisions are really made. He examines whether the reductions are justified, the trade‑off between chasing new audiences and providing high‑quality journalism, and how far the BBC’s digital‑first strategy should apply to radio as well as television — and at what pace. We also discuss what the BBC, new Director-General Matt Brittin, and supporters of public service broadcasting need to do next if the Corporation is to safeguard its future.

    Tom Loxley on Radio Times’ Message to the BBC

    Tom Loxley, brand and editorial director of Radio Times, discusses what hundreds of readers’ letters reveal about the BBC at a time of deep budget cuts, job losses and declining trust in news. We talk about Radio Times’ historic ties to the BBC, why its readers still feel like stakeholders in public service broadcasting, how they really view issues like trust, impartiality and the licence fee, and what this all means for the BBC’s future funding, its struggle to keep talent, and its battle to stay relevant to younger audiences in an age dominated by algorithms and social media.   To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership   @beebwatch.bsky.social @BeebRoger Instagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatch LinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watch email: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com 🎧  Listen to all our episodes:  https://podfollow.com/beebwatch Hosted on Acast.

    Professor Helen Wood: Behind the Scenes of Reality TV and Duty of Care

    After BBC Panorama’s investigation into Channel 4’s Married at First Sight raised fresh questions about reality television, Professor Helen Wood of Aston University discusses what’s really happening behind the scenes. Drawing on her three‑year ReCARE TV study and her role advising the 2019 parliamentary inquiry into reality TV, we talk about casting, consent, working conditions and duty of care in unscripted television – and ask what genuine responsibility to participants and production teams might look like in an industry under mounting commercial pressure.

    Rob Burley on the BBC’s Culture Wars: Trans Coverage and Due Impartiality

    Rob Burley, writer and former BBC live political programming editor and Newsnight deputy editor, has recently published a long-form UnHerd article, “Inside the Capture of the BBC: How Transgenderism Killed Impartiality.” We discuss why he chose to examine the BBC’s handling of coverage related to sex and gender, how a 2013 change to the BBC style guide and subsequent diversity and inclusion policies shaped editorial decisions, and why he believes internal culture and restructuring affected the corporation’s approach to controversial issues. We explore key moments, including Theresa May’s proposal on self-ID, the Cass Review, and early attempts to cover trans-related debates on programmes like Newsnight. We also look at the wider impact of budget cuts on the BBC’s capacity to interpret and apply due impartiality.
