Tim Hincks, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Three going online, The future of Olympic coverage
Steve Hewlett presents media news, including Tim Hincks on creativity and class bias in TV, a look at the threat to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Olympics coverage, and news on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Three's move online.
Tim Hincks, the President of Endemol Shine, on defining and nurturing creativity, tackling the middle class bias in TV, why we should embrace the mainstream and why UK television is best when it engages with the rest of the world.
Richard Ayre from the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Trust explains why the Trust has given a provisional and conditional go-ahead to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ proposals to close Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ3 as a broadcast channel and move it online, and to extend the evening hours of CÄ¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ - but has said no to the idea of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ One +1.
The former director of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's London 2012 Olympic Games coverage, Roger Mosey discusses the International Olympic Committee's decision to award European TV rights to the games to the US communications company Discovery. How big a blow is it to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ and what will it mean for viewers?
And we hear the latest on reports of further job cuts at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ as it faces what is claimed to be a £150M shortfall in anticipated income, as more viewers choose to watch TV exclusively via online catch-up services - which are exempt from the licence fee.
