Amol Rajan (2019). Why are the BBC and ITV creating BritBox?  BBC News . [online] 27 Feb. Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47388140 [Accessed 2 Nov. 2019]. ‌ (Amol Rajan, 2019) quotes: Two inescapable trends are driving the TV business around the world today - one in consumer behaviour, the other in business strategy. The first is exponential growth in streaming, with an accompanying decline in scheduled TV. The second is consolidation among content providers who are desperately seeking scale. BritBox is a marriage of the two. Read more: BBC and ITV set to launch Netflix rival For the BBC, the iPlayer is still a small part of overall viewing, but the key growth area, especially among the younger audiences who much prefer other digital platforms, particularly YouTube. BritBox will sit alongside the BBC's iPlayer growth strategy. This makes sense, because digital delivery of content is not a zero-sum game: BritBox growth will not b...

Plummer, R. (2019). Will the BBC and ITV’s BritBox be a hit or a flop?  BBC News . [online] 27 Feb. Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47389420 [Accessed 2 Nov. 2019]. ‌ (Plummer, 2019) quotes: The BBC and ITV's partnership on the BritBox streaming service is a move born of necessity. Both have long been aware that they are losing ground to Netflix and other rival TV services - but previous attempts to compete in that arena have been stymied by regulators. Back in 2008, they had plans to launch a joint service along with Channel 4, called Project Kangaroo. But the Competition Commission blocked it after lobbying by commercial rivals. What is BritBox? Watch and learn BBC and ITV set to launch Netflix rival Why is BritBox being created? During the inquiry, Sky and Virgin Media gave evidence complaining that Project Kangaroo would concentrate too much power over content and harm their own video-on-demand efforts.

The third of October, I uploaded a survey on to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter asking age ranges, sex, and viewing behaviour as a consumer. Today, the 14th of October I am now analysing found results. From my results I found that I managed to get 40 participants to answer my survey. HERE ARE MY RESULTS: my notes: From my results I can see that the majority of answers are by young adults, between the age of 18-34; both equally males and females. As a multiple-choice question, I found that most people (but not all) use Tv devices to watch programming, with 47% either or also using mobile devices, and computers and games being the third most popular way to watch tv, at 40%. Surprisingly, I found that most people who answered, used streaming services more, rather than On-demand and broadcasted content. Broadcast and social media only had 16 picks each out of the 40% people who had multiple choices. Everyone who I surveyed had heard of Netflix, and out of those only two people...

(Laukkonen, 2019) Laukkonen, J. (2019).  If You Aren’t Watching Facebook Watch, You Might Be Missing Out . [online] Lifewire. Available at: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-facebook-watch-4175805 [Accessed 13 Oct. 2019]. Facebook Watch is Facebook's video-on-demand service that combines aspects of its video-sharing functionality with premium content. It allows creators to upload their own short- and long-form videos, but it also includes original comedy, drama, and news programming. The service is free, but it does require a  Facebook  account. My notes: Facebook watch doesn't include live t.v and is described to be  more like youtube than traditional t.v.  (Laukkonen, 2019).  Despite FB W being described more as a platform similar to Youtube, it has both prosumer and professional content- all of which are free to the consumer  (Laukkonen, 2019). FB W is a more interactive way to watch shows, with the removal of channels and pages repl...
