By the end of 2024, the United Kingdom is expected to rank as the biggest media and entertainment market in Europe. This demonstrates the major influence this nation has on the world entertainment scene. A few key elements are behind the fast increase we are seeing. These include customers’ great demand, a flourishing creative sector, and growing usage of digital technology. Now in this field, the UK has outperformed Germany, therefore reinforcing its role as a major participant in the worldwide media scene. https://lnkd.in/dctpgC-E

Given the audiovisual (AV) sector is important both culturally and economically, policy makers intervene in AV markets to promote investment in content. However, there is limited empirical analysis on the effectiveness of these policies. Frontier Economics’ Clive Kenny led new econometric analysis exploring how carefully designed policies influence content investment by broadcasters.

To make a real difference, you have to be prepared to take a risk. Sinead Boucher and her incredible Stuff team (Joanna Norris et al) have guts. Buying Stuff for $1 and making it work, and now boldly putting a plan in place to ensure TV3 will have a news product at 6pm. Great news for New Zealand journalism but it's not all roses. The incredible team at Newshub will still lose their jobs - but they are being asked for expressions of interest to be part of the Stuff programme. It will be very difficult for Stuff to create a programme that stacks up to what Newshub and TVNZ deliver so I hope they soak up as much TV expertise as they can. That way people will watch it and there's a chance it will survive. This is a smart decision by Stuff. It is also a smart, commercial decision by Warner Brothers - having a flagship news programme will help preserve their audiences, particularly given other homegrown programmes are likely to go. News is changing. More and more people are getting their news from social media where there is a plethora of AI generated content, dis- and misinformation. We need journalists to produce news that people can trust and it's innovation like this that will see it survive. Let's get behind everyone involved. https://lnkd.in/gmE7zVDp

#NZ Live: Stuff’s 6pm news bulletin to be ‘new, innovative product’, owner says 👁️Stuff.co.nz Live: New name, new feel for Stuff's 6pm bulletin on Three https://lnkd.in/ghgjT24S New name, new feel for new 6pm bulletin Expect a new name and a new feel when Stuff takes over the 6pm news on Three, Stuff owner and publisher Sinead Boucher says. Stuff has announced today that it will provide a news service for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) from July. “I’m really excited about what we’ll be able to create together and what we’re going to be able to deliver to New Zealanders,” Boucher said in an interview after the announcement. “We have a proven track record of modernising, changing and being at the edge of what you can do with our own organisation, and we’re hungry to bring some of that innovation and freshness to Warner Bros.” 👉In Media News Today: https://lnkd.in/gYQXdAAe 🦉Short on details so far and already receiving a mixed response: relief from some and some skepticism from Mark Jennings, former TV3 head, that the claim of ‘innovation’ remains to be seen and won’t come cheap. He disputes the Stuff owner’s claim that Stuff is not getting into ongoing television saying that that is precisely what one hour of news on weekdays and 30 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays is. He wonders how long this arrangement will last. Staffing levels will be heavily cut. Good luck to them. NZ must have alternative journalistic voices on television. Vital for a healthy thriving democracy. #newzealand #democracy #nznewsmedia #6pmnews #newsdeal #journalism

As 2024 wraps up, I’m proud to celebrate some standout moments for IRS+.   First up, we were thrilled to see our Dublin stations, Sunshine 106.8 and Radio NOVA 100, hold the No.1 and No. 2 spots respectively in the latest JNLR results. This achievement reflects not only the talent of our on-air teams but the strong connection these stations have fostered with their listeners across Dublin.   Secondly, our idea-first, media agnostic approach to branded content has taken off like never before. We are on track to achieving 90% growth in branded content compared to last year, proving that our commitment to creativity and engagement is paying off. Brands are increasingly seeing the value in radio to make a memorable impact, and our team has been at the heart of helping them realise that potential.   Finally, a consistent highlight of the year has been our financial performance. Hitting our revenue targets every single quarter has been no small feat in an ever-evolving media landscape. As we head into Q4, we’re feeling confident about closing out the year strong and setting a foundation for even greater achievements in 2025.   Thank you to our talented team, our partner stations, and our agency clients for helping us shape this remarkable journey.   #reflection #growth #IRSplus #radioindustry #brandedcontent #leadership
