Axe is poised over ITVs 1billion budget as recovery plan is threatened by advertising revenue slump | Mail Online
Since arriving at the company at the beginning of last year, Grade has maintained that ITV's continued high level of investment in programme production is vital to its long-term performance. The broadcaster is now aiming to save 10million in addition to the 40million it announced that it would save earlier this year through the loss of 1,000 jobs --nearly 20 per cent of its workforce. Meanwhile, BSkyB says it will create an additional 90 call centre jobs at its base in Isleworth, west London. - dailymail.co.uk

Government ditches plans to give Channel 4 14m digital switchover help |Media |guardian.co.uk
The government has withdrawn controversial plans to award 14m to Channel 4 to help with the cost of digital switchover. Under plans announced last year, the government had intended to divert 14m of the BBC licence fee to Channel 4 - a move that has been under investigation by the European Commision as a potential breach of state aid rules. As the Government makes clear in its statement, broader decisions about the future framework of public service broadcasting will be made early in 2009 as part of its Digital Britain review. - guardian.co.uk

BetaNews | Analysts: Consumers drop TV, turn to Internet for entertainment
- Many consumers are now spending less time watching TV, reading, and talking on the phone, preferring Web-based video, gaming, and social networks for entertainment instead, says new research by Magid Associates. Online gaming is another entertainment favorite, he suggested. Over 25 of online video viewers said they are watching less TV since they started watching video through online services such as Hulu, said the Magid advisor, whose company has done extensively since the 1950s with TV stations, cable networks, magazines, and other media around strategic planning, branding, programming, and promotion. - betanews.com

HDTV UK: BBC HD speculation: Formula One, Doctor Who
Nevertheless, BBC HD is more widely available, and should do a good job of broadcasting high definition F1 as and when it's available. Not necessarily significant in itself, it could lead the way to a high definition Doctor Who. In March last year, the BBC stated that Doctor Who would not be made in high definition due to the number of special effects used in the show. - hdtvuk.tvwww.hdtvuk.tv

BetaNews | Analog messages may be broadcast following the DTV transition
February 17 may not be the absolute end to analog TV transmission in the US, should the House follow the Senate's lead in passing legislation enabling analog broadcasters to continue serving public service messages for one month. The House counterpart to Rockefeller's bill was introduced last September, but currently remains in committee. At the time, Baker felt even the appearance of a delay could only serve to confuse consumers. - betanews.comwww.betanews.comMonday 24 November 2008, AM

The plan has faced fierce opposition from newspaper publishers, who have argued that it could damage or kill off their own local online operations. The trust said the BBC's proposal did not meet its criteria for offering value to the public. A study by broadcasting watchdog Ofcom found that if BBC local video services were launched, annual revenues at existing commercial providers would fall by up to 4. - news.bbc.co.uk

However, he is moving on to lead Microsoft UK after just four months, seemingly disillusioned by the political difficulties in bringing three competitive broadcasters together to deliver Kangaroo. There is confusion about how it will work alongside the iPlayer and how Kangaroo will differ from that. - brandrepublic.comwww.brandrepublic.com
Five spies hidden value in childrens TV market - Brand Republic News - Brand Republic
Five's plan to launch a dedicated children's TV channel next year is likely to have surprised many. The ad market is anything but buoyant, with ZenithOptimedia predicting that it could fall by 7 next year meanwhile, advertising to children has become so intensely regulated that many broadcasters have scaled back their children-focused operations this year. On closer analysis, however, it appears the RTL-owned broadcaster might be onto something in wanting to extend its established - and successful -Milkshake programming strand into a channel of its own. - brandrepublic.comwww.brandrepublic.comBBC Media Show: 19 Nov 2008

The company passed the 9m subscriber mark during the three months to September, and defied tough conditions to increase average annual revenue per user ARPU by 19, to 430, reducing churn to 10.9. - brandrepublic.comwww.brandrepublic.comTuesday 11 November 2008, PM

Hauppauge's myTV underwhelming design From the outside, the myTV is underwhelming, having a touch of the old kitchen transistor radio about it. Still, the 200g, 122 x 78 x 18.4mm device feels well built and solid, with the exception of the flip-out plastic stand on the back, which is rather flimsy and can be effortlessly pulled out of its hinge housing. The 3.6in, 320 x 240 screen certainly won't cause the folk at Archos or Cowon to lose any sleep, but it's crisp, clear and bright enough for the job in hand. - reghardware.co.ukwww.reghardware.co.ukWorld Screen - Digital Days - October 2008
