Race and TV viewing, The 大象传媒 impact on the market, Should Ofcom replace the 大象传媒 Trust?

Looking at how ethnicity influences TV viewing, asking if Ofcom should replace the 大象传媒 Trust and assessing the 大象传媒's impact on its commercial rivals.

The Secretary of State John Whittingdale has been sharing his views of the 大象传媒 at the Oxford Media Conference. We hear what he had to say about 大象传媒 distinctiveness and the impact the corporation has on the market and on its commercial competitors. The 大象传媒's head of strategy and digital James Purnell then gives his verdict on the Secretary of State's vision so far.

And Sir David Clementi has carried out a review of the governance and regulation of the 大象传媒. Former chairman of the 大象传媒 Trust, Sir Michael Lyons discusses in details of his recommendations - in particular that the 大象传媒 Trust should be scrapped and a new unitary board created with oversight by the broadcasting regulator Ofcom. Plus reaction from Richard Tait - former 大象传媒 Governor and Trustee - and one time editor of Newsnight and editor in Chief at ITN and Professor Lis Howell - head of broadcasting at City University.

And, new research suggests that ethnicity is a significant factor in the television programming people watch and that the top twenty most viewed shows are very different for an ethnic minority audience compared to the country at large. We hear from one of the report's authors.
