Titre : The future of children's television programming Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : OFCOM - Office of communication (UK) , Editeur scientifique Editeur : London [Grande-Bretagne] : OFCOM (Office of communication) Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 224 p. Format : 29,5 cm Note générale : Proposé au téléchargement sur : http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/consultations/kidstv/summary/kidstv.pdf Langues : Anglais Catégories : MEDIAS:AUDIOVISUEL: TELEVISION: Programmes / Contenu: protection des mineurs Tags : télévision protection des mineurs rapport programmation enfant OFCOM Index. décimale : 791.45 Télévision (Loisir) Résumé : Executive summary
In this report we have assessed the current state of the children’s television market and the prospects for future delivery of a wide range of high-quality and original content for children. Our work raises issues in five main areas.
First, while a clear majority of parents regard public service programming for children as very important, less than half think it is being delivered satisfactorily, especially in reflecting a range of cultures and opinions from around the UK. The gap between expectations and delivery of this characteristic is greater for children’s programming than for adults programming. Parents are relatively content with provision for pre-school and younger children, but want more drama and factual programming for older children and young teenagers.
Second, the future provision of new UK-originated content for children, particularly drama and factual programming, looks uncertain other than from the BBC. Investment in first-run original programming by the commercial public service broadcasters – ITV1, GMTV, Channel 4 and Five - has halved in real terms since 1998. While the commercial children’s channels (like Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network) commission some UK programming, this represents only 10% of total investment in new programmes. This decline in investment reflects the increasingly unattractive economics of some types of children’s programming for the commercial public service broadcasters, relative to other output.
Third, while BBC hours and spend on children’s programming have actually increased over the period, its long term commitments to children’s programming are by no means guaranteed; the BBC service licences do not reflect the BBC’s current delivery of children’s programming and the BBC could, at least in theory, reduce its output and spend significantly below current levels.
Fourth, the BBC’s programming is highly valued by parents, but these trends lead inevitably to questions about whether it is in the audience’s long-term interest for the BBC to be by far the largest commissioner of UK children’s programming. Our research demonstrates that parents appreciate programming from a range of different voices.
Fifth, children’s media consumption continues to change rapidly, with older children and especially young teenagers watching less television and using the internet and mobile phones more than ever before. At the same time, parents of young teenagers are particularly dissatisfied with current delivery of public service programming; and young teenagers themselves would like more of this type of content aimed specifically at them. Yet there is no evidence that commercial provision of children’s public service content is a viable option, now or in the near future.
Given the rapidly changing nature of UK broadcasting – further demonstrated by the evidence set out in this research - Ofcom has brought forward its second statutory review of the whole of public service television broadcasting and published the terms of reference on 11 September 2007. That review will consider what policy responses are appropriate to address the issues raised about children’s television, not least because many of the challenges across public service broadcasting are likely to be similar to those highlighted here.
We are keen to hear stakeholders’ views on a number of questions raised by this research, both to inform our thinking about the best way to address the issues raised in this report and also to help shape our ideas about public service broadcasting as a whole, especially:
What is the role and importance of UK-originated programming for children?
What is the role and importance of plurality in the provision of children’s programming?
Should further consideration be given to provision of public service content for children over platforms other than linear television?
Does the policy approach for children’s programming need to be different from the policy approach taken to public service broadcasting overall?
Several interested parties have already suggested a range of possible approaches to children’s television. Due to the limited nature of Ofcom’s role as set out in the current Communications Act 2003, all of these approaches, other than the status quo, would require intervention by government rather than by Ofcom. These options are set out in more detail in Section 6, Views of industry stakeholders, and include:
maintaining the status quo, leaving provision to the BBC, the commercial public service broadcasters and the market;
broadcaster-based interventions, including a dedicated fund or output quotas;
production incentives, such as tax credits;
extending the remit of existing public service institutions, including Channel 4; and
creating new public institutions, including a non-BBC public service children’s channel.
In discussions, many have also raised international policy approaches as alternative approaches to regulation that could be taken in the UK. Section 7, The international perspective, sets out the results of our survey of international markets.
We are seeking stakeholders’ views on the appropriateness of the approaches which have been suggested. In addition, we would like views on whether, if they are appropriate, any of the policy approaches should be tailored to different age groups (for example to pre-school, younger children, older children and young teenagers), or to different types of children’s programming (such as drama, factual, entertainment and animation)?
Although not a formal consultation, we would welcome any views on these questions by 20 December 2007.
In Phase 1 of the public service broadcasting review, we will assess stakeholder responses to these questions and set out proposals outlining our planned approach to children’s programming in the context of the public service broadcasting review as a whole. We expect to publish Phase 1 of the public service broadcasting review in spring 2008.

"Background and Objectives:
There are around 500 local non-BBC stations licensed in the UK, broadcasting on FM or AM. Around 150 of these could be classified as national, “large local” or regional stations, serving populations in excess of 250,000 and covering county-sized areas or large towns or cities. The remaining 350 or so stations can be described as small local stations. They fall into two main categories, according to the way they are licensed.
• Around 140 of them are commercial stations, whose primary aim is to make profits for their shareholders, which they do by selling advertising. They are governed by licence conditions which require them to provide a certain amount of local programming. They also use this local programming to differentiate themselves from their commercial competitors that cover larger areas. Many of these stations have been broadcasting for a number of years.
• The remaining 200 or so are community stations. This is a relatively new type of station and almost all have been broadcasting for less than five years. These must be not for profit and must be funded by a diversity of funding sources: there is a limit of 50% on the proportion of their funding that can come from on-air advertising and sponsorship, and many receive funding in the form of grants from public and other bodies. They have included in their licences conditions which require them to provide “social gain” in the form of community information, accessibility for audiences and accountability to their local community. Some serve communities defined purely by geography; others serve more targeted local communities of interest, such as specific ethnic groups.
Both of these types of small-scale station have been under financial pressure due to declining advertising revenues and more recently, declining public funding. The Government is currently developing a Digital Radio Action Plan which is considering how national and large local stations might migrate to digital-only broadcasting at some point in the future. Small-scale radio stations, both commercial and community, would remain on FM. The Government is also planning to introduce a new Communications Bill in the next few years which could seek to change the way that small-scale radio is regulated.
The purpose of this research is to provide an understanding of how much listeners value each type of small-scale radio in terms of the benefits they provide and to seek their opinions on the possible changes in the licensing and regulatory models currently applied to such services. Ofcom commissioned Essential Research to conduct the research and this report details its findings. The specific research objectives were as follows:
• To establish why people are listening to small-scale stations and what the unique benefits of these stations are
• To explore the social value of small-scale stations to individual listeners and communities as a whole
• To explore the different benefits and impacts of different types of small-scale station – small commercial vs. community, geographic vs. specialist
• To help test and refine three future policy scenarios within this sector, should relaxation in regulation be required to ensure their financial viability: o More advertising and other commercial activity
o Less of a specific station focus – i.e. becoming more mainstream in terms of programming
o Less participation by the station in the community "

"Introduction
The way we consume audio-visual content is changing, and changing in many different ways simultaneously. In the future increasing numbers of viewers will be entering a ‘converged world’ in which traditional broadcast television programming will be available alongside content delivered through the internet on the same screen. Smartphones and other web-connected portable devices have already reached a critical mass in the UK and are becoming mainstream. Internet-connected or ‘smart’ televisions are already available but have yet to reach critical mass. New converged services such as Virgin’s TiVo give access to broadcast content, catch-up services, video on demand and open internet content on our televisions. New brands and providers will continue to enter the marketplace, multiplying the range and type of content services available to UK audiences.
At the moment, different types of audio-visual services are regulated differently. The strictest regulations apply to licensed TV broadcasters and their channels available on terrestrial, satellite and cable television. A more limited set of rules apply to video on demand (VoD) services. In recent years whether, and how, to regulate audio-visual content delivered via other means has become an increasing challenge and source of debate. Government, regulators, industry and other stakeholders must now consider an increasing range of content providers, service types and distribution platforms when considering regulation for protection going forward. Ofcom has a duty to advise government on the need for protection of consumers and citizens in their consumption of audio-visual services.
In this context, Ofcom commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct new audience research to explore attitudes and expectations in a world where content can be accessed in such a broad range of ways.
This report sets out the background to and key findings of the research. A separate annex incorporates the methodology and materials used in the deliberative audience workshops.
This report is intended to be a public source of information, and a foundation for discussion and debate, on the expectations, importance, and ways and means of protecting vulnerable individuals and providing assurance for audiences in their viewing choices. "
