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.
