People support changes which put the audience at the heart of our content supply, and which respond to changing audience behaviour.

People support changes which put the audience at the heart of our content supply, and which respond to changing audience behaviour.



Key themes

  • People want more cross-platform commissioning

  • We need to focus on developing the best ideas

  • The production and commissioning process block ideas and creativity

  • People want more productive working relationships and partnerships with indies

  • Audiences need to be at the heart of commissioning decisions

  • Concern about future opportunities and jobs for in-house production staff

Quotes from participants



“Audiences can be a source of great ideas – they may not ‘know’ what we should broadcast but they can inspire us to find a broadcasting answer to their needs”



“The commissioning structure is too slow to feedback ideas and too dependant on the taste of one or two people”



“More collaboration between in and out-house production teams – shared projects, attachments and exchanges”



“There’s no need for channels….because of downloading programmes when you want them”



“We want the best programmes to get commissioned, rather than quota compromises

If not commissioned, no guidance on why or advice on what elements were missing”
