About Us

Televisionmarket.co.uk, Europe's foremost free-to-broadband television industry journal, provides a concise and objective analysis of the changes impacting upon the global television industry, applying knowledge and experience from the fields of marketing, economics and law.

The website presents an open resource of knowledge and learning free from the spin of the PR agencies; the stilted eulogies of the city analysts, the repetition of the market researchers and the verbose diatribe of the corporate lawyers. It has extensively chronicled events, as the traditional television industry landscape has been altered beyond all recognition, with rapid advances in technology unleashing the forces of disintermediation, deconstruction and deregulation.

Regulators are presented with the task of regulating nascent and constanly evolving technologies. Traditional broadcasters are coming under pressure, keen to hold on to their market shares in the terrestrial sphere, whilst at the same time seeking to stamp their authority in the online world.

Traditional Uk broadcasters, such as ITV and C4 are faced with the dilemna of how best to cannabalise their own deeply entrenched business models. They have already had their fingers burnt, when the much heralded TV online joint venture Project Kangaroo, was blocked by the UK's Competition Commission, on the grounds that it posed too much of a threat to competition in the nascent UK video-on-demand market. Somewhat ironically, it looks like they will now be forced into the arms of YouTube and Hulu, which are owned by Goggle and a consortium comprising NBC, Fox and ABC, repsectively.
