Chapter 6 - Cable and the Specialization of TelevisionJill Falk
Cable television undermined the network era by providing hundreds of specialized channel options rather than a shared set of broadcast programs. Cable systems pick up broadcast signals via satellite and supply them to homes through wires. The FCC established must-carry rules requiring cable operators to carry local broadcasts, and access channels for public, educational, and government content. This led to "narrowcasting" that targets niche audiences through specialized channels like HGTV and Speed. Direct broadcast satellites like DirecTV and DISH also offer many channel options but had initial higher costs and lacked local channels, which they now provide.

Mountain Valley Pipeline, Analysis of Environmental IssuesJacqueline Tkac
The following report addresses the impacts of highest concern from residential community members as well as the scientific community. The primary focus of the report is on environmental impacts, especially relating to karst topography, but also addresses four non-environmental concerns of significant importance. These include economic issues, eminent domain, Appalachian culture, and community engagement. Our conclusions are based on a set of ten recommendations to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), LLC that outline the need for oversight, mitigation, community engagement, and cumulative impact analysis. The approval of the Mountain Valley Pipeline should be contingent on these recommendations.
The Yuan’s Rise as an International CurrencyBloomberg LP
China’s share of total payments processed on the Swift network continues to edge up. As of February 2015, the yuan accounted for 1.8 percent of total payments, up from 1.4 percent a year earlier. That makes the yuan the seventh most used global currency, fractionally behind the Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc. The jump to overtake the Japanese yen, which accounts for 2.8 percent of global payments, may take a while longer.

This document discusses gender diversity in organizations. It provides several facts and statistics showing that while many organizations aim to increase the number of female employees at mid-levels, very few see increases at executive levels. Research shows gender diverse companies outperform those that are not, and diversity can significantly boost economic growth. However, barriers remain like lack of flexible work arrangements and support for women, especially in negotiating compensation and rising to leadership. The document examines benefits of diversity and key factors important to retaining women, such as leadership programs and mentoring, though organizations often fail to provide these.

Industries introduction for The Bridge and Life on MarsKStockwell
This document discusses and compares the industries behind two TV crime dramas: "The Bridge" and "Life on Mars." It notes that "Life on Mars" was produced by Kudos for BBC Wales and had international adaptations and broadcasts. "The Bridge" is a Swedish/Danish co-production between public broadcasters SVT and DR that received additional European funding and has had international success and remakes. Both crime dramas conform to their broadcasters' remits of providing popular, high quality programming while cultivating talent.
UK television broadcasting was introduced by the BBC in the 1920s and has since expanded to include multiple channels from various broadcasters, with the BBC remaining the largest public service broadcaster, producing a wide variety of programming across genres which it distributes through television, radio, online and commercial services both domestically and internationally. The BBC is primarily funded through television license fees and governed by the BBC Trust to ensure its independence, producing content through a system of channels, regions, and production processes both filmed and live.
The document provides information about public service broadcasting (PSB) and the BBC in the UK. It discusses key aspects of PSB including that it is publicly owned and funded by license fees, has a duty to appeal to a broad audience, and must educate, inform and entertain. The BBC's remit and funding model allow it to produce high-quality programming while maintaining editorial independence. BBC Three targets 16-30 year olds with shows that explore issues relevant to that age group through compelling narratives and characters. The document also provides background on the military comedy-drama Bluestone 42, which is set in Afghanistan and depicts the camaraderie of a bomb disposal unit through humor.
The document provides guidance for a student preparing for an exam on media studies. It discusses several topics that should be covered in the exam, including discussing audience theories like uses and gratifications theory and Dyer's Utopian solutions theory. It also lists several key terms that must be included in exam answers such as watershed, inheritance, stripping, channel ethos, and others. Finally, it provides guidance on how to achieve high marks, including discussing how two programs were scheduled on channels and comparing the audience pleasures of two comedy programs by giving examples.
The document provides details on ITV's plans to expand into the US television market by launching ITV America. Some key points:
1) ITV is the largest commercial television network in the UK and wants to leverage its brand and programming internationally.
2) The US market was selected for its large size, cultural similarities to the UK, and potential for advertising revenue.
3) The launch of ITV America will involve securing promotional partnerships, bringing over popular UK programs, and creating customized advertising for the US audience.
4) An extensive marketing campaign utilizing television, online, print, and celebrity appearances is planned to build awareness of the new channel.
The document discusses the industries surrounding two TV shows: "The Bridge" and "Life on Mars". It examines factors like production, distribution, ownership, funding, audiences, and regulations. For "The Bridge", it notes that it is a Swedish/Danish co-production involving public broadcasters SVT and DR, and discusses the economic context around international co-productions and funding. For "Life on Mars", it provides details about its production and distribution, and analyzes how it was marketed to audiences and how it fit the BBC's remit.

Mac129 med102 med122 Television, video and the internetRob Jewitt
This document discusses the changing landscape of television as new technologies have disrupted the linear viewing model. Non-linear viewing through video on demand and content accessed across multiple devices has led to the disintegration of the traditional programming supply chain. There is no consensus definition of television as content can now be watched anywhere and consumption patterns have fragmented. However, television continues to have enormous staying power as a medium and social viewing may help breathe new life into old platforms by making content a more interactive experience. The future of television will likely include new modes of customized, flexible consumption but the role of traditional television is still uncertain.
The document summarizes key aspects of the British television industry and context surrounding the failed BBC sci-fi show "Class". It discusses the BBC's public service broadcaster model funded by license fees, the differences between terrestrial and digital TV channels, and the importance of scheduling and promotion for viewership. Regarding "Class", it notes the show was not properly scheduled or promoted across BBC platforms, was put in a late time slot unattractive to its target demographic, and failed to achieve the synergistic support seen for other BBC shows, leading to its cancellation after one season due to poor ratings.
The document provides an overview of the history of television broadcasting in the UK from the early years in 1936 to the present multi-channel environment. It discusses the following key points:
- In the early years from 1936-1955, TV was only available to the metropolitan middle class and was disrupted during WWII. The BBC only had one channel.
- From 1955-1982, commercial independent television was introduced alongside the BBC. Color transmissions began in 1967 and were fully switched over by 1985.
- In 1982, Channel 4 was established as the first public organization not under the BBC and aimed to reach a more diverse audience.
- From 1990 onward, digital broadcasting provided more variety in channels alongside computer services
The document summarizes the IT outsourcing process undertaken by the BBC. The BBC, founded in 1920s as the national broadcaster of the UK, decided to outsource its IT functions in 2004 to reduce costs by 30-40 million pounds annually while gaining access to modern technology. A multi-phase selection process involved 70+ companies submitting proposals, with 9 shortlisted and finally SBS selected after demonstrating its understanding of public services and engineering capabilities on a test "Leo" project. The UK government approved the 10-year outsourcing contract with SBS in September 2004.
Local tv starting from the internet post IFNCwilliam perrin

The document provides information on ownership, funding, and technology in the UK television and film industries. It discusses public service companies like the BBC and private commercial companies like ITV. It also describes multinational conglomerates that own major media companies, like Disney, Time Warner, and News Corp. The document also outlines various funding models including TV license fees, advertising, subscriptions, and new revenue streams from online content. Finally, it lists several technological milestones in film and television such as the introduction of color, CGI, and streaming services.
The BBC was formed in 1922 in London with a royal charter that still governs it today. Its purpose is to inform, educate, and entertain the public. John Reith became the BBC's first general manager and helped establish its operations. The BBC began as a radio broadcaster in the 1930s and launched television in 1936. It has since expanded to include additional radio stations, online content, and more. The BBC is publicly owned and regulated by the BBC Board and Ofcom to ensure it serves the public interest.
This document provides a summary of a visit to BBC News and BBC Training in London on June 6-7, 2005.

Innovation Culture & The BBC (R&D North) Ou Digital Futures FinalBBC
This document summarizes the BBC's plans to establish an innovation center called MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester. It will bring together different parts of the BBC focused on future media and technology. The goals are to lead in areas like IPTV and digital media, create new learning experiences, build a world-class research lab, and foster partnerships between the BBC departments, universities, and other organizations. The hope is this new center will help shape the BBC of the future by developing innovative new ideas and technologies over the next 20-30 years.
The BBC has a selective commissioning process where ideas must fit the genre and ethos of each channel. Producers can submit pitches through BBC Pitch if they have recent commissions, or the public can submit ideas which may be developed by independent production companies. When an idea is proposed, it is reviewed for its genre and fit with the channel mix. If suitable, the producer develops it further and it is sent to the relevant channel controller for consideration. The BBC and producer negotiate licensing fees which are either paid in pre-agreed stage installments or upon delivery.
This document proposes strategies for NBC to stay relevant amid changing media consumption habits. It recommends that NBC launch its own online streaming platform to provide access to its library and current episodes. It also suggests focusing on formats like reality TV and live events that streaming services can't replicate. Additionally, it proposes adapting the cable model of shorter seasons and releasing shows throughout the year rather than by season. The goal is for NBC to participate in both broadcast and streaming media.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.

Editor's Notes
"reinvent public broadcasting for a new generation in order to compete against giants such as Netflix and Amazon"
That's quite a statement from Tony Hall
We have a target of doubling the number of visitors and quadruple the time a user spends on iPlayer by 2020. This ambitious target requires a lot of work to be completed across the BBC. As an example of the number of teas involved, iPlayer alone is split into 3 divisions - mobile, web and TV. Each of these divisions is split into several smaller groups (crews) of around 10-15 people. There are further teams running the backend systems, servers and managing the encoding and distribution of programs.
That’s a lot of people across multiple locations in the UK.
That will all need to work closely together
How do you ensure agility whilst coordinating many threads of activity?
This is a challenge for any organisation regardless of size. In this presentation I will focus on some of the tactics we employ as Mobile Platforms to ensure we and those around us remain Agile.
Why are Mobile Platforms an ideal case study?
We are responsible for building and maintaining a variety of core native mobile components that are used throughout the BBC estate. We manage 19 components in our single team, which are currently used in 14 native mobile apps, each app is then developed by its own crew.
These components are used across the BBC and we are often the central pivot point and the glue between a number of teams. This places us at the center of that co-ordination effort
The highest profile of our components is the Standard Media Player or (SMP as we refer to it) – If you have ever used iPlayer on your mobile, tablet or used cast to watch on your TV then you were using SMP.
To give you an idea of the importance of mobile, in the week following Christmas just gone, SMP in iPlayer mobile had over 7 million program views, that's over 10% of the UK population watching at least one program a week.
How do we work -
As a team we strive act and work in an agile way, we imit our work in progress to ensure a very narrow focus,
We slice our work thinly and look to release our components weekly with a focus on delivering value in each release. With weekly releases we ensure that the scope of change is small which helps simplify testing and provides high confidence in the quality of our releases. With the regular release we enable other teams to plan based on our predictable cadence of value.
How Else –
Pair Programming – having engineers work together on a ticket ensure we have less work in progress and two heads are better than one for solving problems
Our testers are embedded with the engineers rather than in a separate team (same for other disciplines UX etc), Engineers also stay on a ticket until it has passed regression meaning we don’t have a costly handoff or delays whilst we wait to get a problems fixed.
The upshot is that we can quickly deliver small features and change direction easily to address new opportunities.
So what is the biggest challenge we face to achieving the 2020 target? Dependencies cause organisational friction which slows down release of customer value. It is that value that will drive audience engagement. Fast feedback is essential to any organisation as it provides data which you can use to improve future deliveries.
I’m going to talk about four tactics we have adopted that help us reduce challenges to agility.
Tactic No.1 - Ensure your roadmaps are aligned
Seems obvious – but all too often organisations and teams discuss roadmaps at the start of the year and then squirrelling themselves away, chances are something major will shift within the first month that will derail the well laid plans.
All the teams we work with have their own products, each one with its own product owner, stakeholders and executives who all have their own agendas and ideas of what is most valuable to the audience.
How do we mange that?
Meetings get a bad wrap and rightly so in many cases – however with a clear focus and outcome they are worth more than a 100 emails in maintaining alignment.
Set a regular cadence for this communication so that you get into a rhythm of sharing:
monthly roadmap - look to the future, next quarter and beyond
Weekly project specific meetings - now and next, coordinate dependencies, close alignment of objectives across teams
Cross team daily standups that bring together multiple stakeholders working towards a common goal and the focus is on now with an eye to removing blockers. This stand-up is following the normal team standup.
It is critical you invest substantial amounts of energy in communicating at all levels within your organisation to ensure you remain aligned.
Tactic No. 2 to reduce friction between teams - Embed your expertise upstream
If you have a deliverable that will form part of a bigger system, then take steps to ensure that the integration further up the value stream (closer to the audience) is as smooth as possible, we do this in a number of ways:
When delivering a component to say iPlayer or BBC news we will pair with people in that team or even on occasions work with their entire crew: This enables us to learn about the challenges they might face using our components – So we can improve future releases. Possibly even making changes there and then to reduce friction.
Tactic No.2 cont.
Our intimate knowledge of the feature/component, coupled with the other teams knowledge of the product, reduces the time it takes to integrate. Allowing a smoother process and cutting time to release and therefore deliver value to the audience
Another favorite technique is for us to spike the system end to end, this is a quick prototype that allows us to test out and validate assumptions. Enabling us to understand the challenge in more detail which we share with other teams. Once completed and we will also wok with other product teams to add our spike into their product, which means that both teams to learn really early in the project what integration obstacles we might face.
By Building organisational empathy in this way you ensure team members have their heads up and outward focused, they are more considerate of their actions and more likely to see challenges coming early
Tactic No. 3 - Close collaboration to avoid surprises
There is nothing worse than delivering a feature only to realise you solved the wrong problem. The impact of this can derail even the best laid plans across multiple teams. For that reason we invest time to ensure that everyone on a project is included along the way:
Daily standups everyone is present and we discuss progress and challenges ensuring fast feedback to all. When Kicking off new tickets we ensure people present from product, engineering and test to ensure the requirements are clear and considered. If you miss out a discipline at KO then you run the risk of delivering a sub optimal solution i.e. missing test result in engineers not considering how the work will be validated and this causes costly rework work and delays.
We also regularly hold pre project workshop for other teams to attend. Here we present our proposed solution for a ticket or project and provide them with the opportunity to feedback. Many times this has paid dividends when together you identify a missed opportunity or highlight a potential roadblock.
TOP TIP - ensure the attendees understand that this is an opportunity to iron out any creases and not for them to dictate a solution to your team
The final one - Tactic No. 4 - Be an enabler for others, don’t restrict forward progress
Teams are of a fixed size, it takes time to add more people and bring them up to speed. As is the case in any team where components need to be maintained there can often be a lot of demands on our time. How to prevent a team being dominated by incoming requests, or swamped in a see of context switching unable to progress with the critical path?
New for this year - We have a pair of engineers (on rotation) who are entirely outward facing, and by that I mean they are focused on helping other teams work with our components –
this pair look to educate and empower others outside our team.
Tactic No. 4 Cont.
We have rigorous set of guidelines that others follow if they want to amend one of our components: We ask that other product teams engage with us upfront and discuss the change they might want to make. Teams often think about a solution to their own challenge and we need to broaden the perspective to include everyone who uses a component, that way the most value can be derived across the BBC.
By enforcing certain standards around automated and manual test coverage we also ensure that these components remain manageable, by which I mean we have confidence in releasing and maintaining them.
We are the guardians of our components not their guards.
So how will we reinvent public broadcasting for a new generation?
Details still to be decided – but we must
Communicate regularly at all levels to ensure you maintain alignment
Integrate early and often to identify dependencies and flush out problems that will be more costly to fix in the future and could derail a project.
Involve the team at each stage of the process - it's a false economy to miss people out, the later you make a change the more it costs
Be generous with your knowledge and an enabler to others.
