Television Production in Transition: Independence, Scale and Sustainability

Television production is a vital component of the UK creative industries 
and a sector whose performance has important cultural and economic 
ramifications. This three-year ESRC-funded project examines crucial 
transformations in the structure of ownership of the UK television 
production industry. Recent changes have raised concern about the 
ability of the ‘independent’ production sector to survive and flourish 
in an increasingly globalized and competitive environment for 
television. Our project investigates the relationship between 
independence, scale and economic sustainability in the production sector 
and related implications for content and for public policy. It commenced 
in April 2017 and is being conducted by Principal Investigator Professor 
Gillian Doyle, Co-Investigator Richard Paterson, Research Associate Dr 
Kenny Barr and Research Associate Dr Mike O’ Neill.
