    Programme and speakers


Public service broadcasting is under pressure. Subscriptions to TV 
streaming services such as Netflix have overtaken those to traditional 
pay TV in the UK for the first time and Ofcom has said that British TV 
will have to change the way it operates if it wants to compete with the 
internet giants. This is one of many issues we will be discussing at 
this Autumn’s conference.

*BBC: *We are delighted that *Tim Davie*, Chief Executive Officer of BBC 
Studios and Director, BBC Global, will be a keynote speaker on the 
morning of the conference. At what is a crucial time for the BBC’s 
future, Tim is responsible for developing the BBC’s international brand 
and editorial strategy.

*Channel 4:* In the afternoon we will be joined by *Ian Katz*, Director 
of Programmes at Channel 4. Ian joined Channel 4 in January this year 
after four and a half years as Editor of /Newsnight/. Before working in 
broadcasting Ian worked at /The Guardian/ where his final role was 
Deputy Editor.

*The Rise of the Global Giants: *Subscription services, like Netflix, 
Amazon and Apple, are now commissioning and producing content for their 
subscription services, putting huge pressure on the ecology of British 
broadcasting. What does this mean for a cash-strapped BBC and the other 
UK public service broadcasters. Can they survive?

This panel will be chaired by *Alan Yentob, *former Chief Creative 
Officer at the BBC. *Peter Kosminsky*, independent producer and Director 
of /Wolf Hall/, will be on the panel.

*Who sets then news agenda?* Our final session of the day will be a 
discussion about who sets the news agenda at a time when headlines and 
programmes are dominated by Brexit and American politics.

This panel will be chaired by *Stewart Purvis*, former Editor in Chief 
and Chief Executive of ITN with *John Ryley*, Head of Sky News, and 
*Janine Gibson*, Editor in Chief at Buzzfeed UK and *Jamie Angus*, 
Editorial Director of BBC Global News.

The conference takes place on Tuesday 27 November 2018 from 10.30 to 
15.30 at the Geological Society, Piccadilly, W1J 0BG.

The VLV reserves the right to amend the programme.
