The chairman of Sky is called Nicholas
Ferguson.
The man who is in charge is called Keith
Rupert Murdoch more commonly known
as Rupert Murdoch.
News corporation owns 39.14 per cent
stake in sky.
Know body knows who owns the 60.86 per
cent stake in sky.

4. What type of ownership is sky?
Sky is owned by a company who owns lots of
other companies, the company who owns sky is
called “news corporation”. Sky is a private
owned company which means they can charge
as much money as they want for people to call
up for competitions and all the money goes the
company.

5. • News corp. wasn‟t allowed to buy all of sky
because it would have been to powerful as
you can see from this graph they already
own so much press and if they owned
more of the television industry they would
have owned to much.

6. Advantages and disadvantages of
private broadcasting
Advantages Disadvantages
Extra programs You have to pay
More channels More censorship
Earn more money from
advertisements
Less control
more exposure (which can turn out
to be a disadvantage)

governors)

8. What type of ownership is the
BBC?
The BBC is a public broadcasting company, its
different from sky because when they make
money it has to go to a charity. All of the BBC‟s
money comes from the television license that
people pay, the price of the persons television
license depends on the size of their property.

9. Advantages and disadvantages of
public broadcasting

11.  How the companies are run.
 What are some of the issues relating to
way each business is run?

12. How the companies are run.
(BBC)
- BBC Trust – A group of people who decide what should and shouldn‟t be on
TV at a specific time. i.e.; Program containing offensive language on before
the watershed (2100 hours).
- The trustees – 12 people who make up the BBC Trust.
- Lord Patten is the chairman of the BBC Trust.

13. How the companies are run.
(Sky)

ays_of_working
 Executive team – these are a group of 12 people who are called the
executives.
 Nicholas Ferguson is the chairman and non-executive director of Sky.

14. What are some of the issues
relating to way each business is
run? The public have to pay for it even if they don‟t want to watch those
channels.
 Too much control over the channels which means they can have influence
on your life.
 Certain programs can only be shown after the watershed which is at 2100
hours.

15. Harry‟s Presentation

16. How do companies generate income ?
Harry Taylor.

17. Spin offs
Company's generate income by making a spin of, another program for
example;
Doctor who – torchwood
Bear in the big blue house – breakfast with bear
Csi: crime scene investigation – Csi: Miami, Csi: new York
And many more.
Spin-offs are often made for investments in company, In a spin-off, a
parent company distributes 100% of its ownership interests.
Parent company- a
company's that owns other
company‟s.

18. merchandise
Some companies earn money by franchising their merchandise, to other
company‟s around the world, such as BBC, sell their products to BBC
America so they can earn more money.
This is good because they
can earn extra funding‟s
towards the company to
make more merchandise or
new television programs.

19. subscribers
Company‟s like sky and Netflix can earn money by subscribing films
and other television programs across the web, console or TV, this is a
good way for company‟s to earn money because the audience wont
have to watch the adverts if they watch a program through Netflix or
sky plus.
The bad thing about this is that people would
stop watching programs on normal TV and
start to watch it through Netflix and company‟s
like that, so then people wont have to pay for
their TV license.

28. How Companies Generate
Income
-Pay-Per view broadcasting
-Subscribers
-Sky/TiVo box
-E-Broadcasting
-Blu Ray/DVD Re-Release

29. Pay-per view broadcasting
 TV companies such as HBO have a special feature
called „Pay-per view broadcasting‟ which allow
anyone who have the ability to watch special
programmes such as concerts and fights or games.
Pay-per view is most commonly available at most
hotels and people who have a cable TV broadcaster
such as DIRECTV (In America). This generates
income by having people pay a large sum of money
depending on broadcaster, which can range from
any price, such as £300 for a year nascar/F1 pass.
 I think this is a good idea because it lets me see
things I might want to see at home instead of going
to places such as the O2 arena to see a concert or

30. Subscribers
 Subscribers are another good way of generating income
because they allow people to view everything a producer
creates such as on YouTube where someone can
subscribe to people such as Kip Kay who creates
homemade gadgets and helps people build things which
needs money which can be bought from his website.
 Subscribing can also cost people money for a timely
subscriptions such as online e-broadcasting sites which
have a minimal fee at an annual time.
 I think this is good because it allows me to view people I
like very much and I‟d be willing to pay to view, and it
also makes sure I never miss a video I might want to
view

31. SKY/TiVo Box
 Sky Box/TiVo are special features which allow people to pause
rewind and record live TV. It is a special breakthrough product from
certain companies which hardly any have. It is loved by many people,
but it can be very expensive, but most people find it effective and
very useful if you can‟t get the features that sky have on most other
companies do not offer. This generates income by having people pay
a fee for the box itself then the weekly/monthly annual fee, which is
about £35 for the box itself, which sells millions each day earning lots
of money
 I think this is good because it lets me pause and rewind/fast
forward/record TV I like and let me watch that recording whenever I
want for free

32. E-Broadcasting
 E-Broadcasting (Love film/Netflix/Amazon) these are very good
because they allow people to watch shows and movies they really
like on the internet and are available and it lets them watch whatever
they want when they want if they have the device such as XBOX 360
or on a pc. They make money by people being subscribed to the
networks that require them to pay a small annual fee that can be at a
very low price depending on the company, such as Netflix Which is
£10 a month
 I think this is good because it lets me watch something I wan
whenever I want online after I pay a minimal fee if I miss something
good, such as Dr Who on the BBC iPlayer

33. DVD/BLU RAY re-release
 DVD/BLU RAY re-release is where a company release a DVD/video
such as the Star Wars Saga which all were released on original DVD,
then in Blu ray and then re-released in the ultimate editions in HD
with hours of bonus content. This generates income by causing
people who love movie sagas so much they will want to purchase it in
any version that comes out, and it generates income very well by
doing this.
 I think this is good because it lets me watch my favorite things I like
such as Anchorman and other movies, in very high quality such as in
ultimate edition packs with many hundreds of hours of bonus content

34. Robert‟s Presentation

35. My Question for group B was –
What technology do the
companies use?
Here are some examples:…..

36. Video Tapes.
A video tape is a recording
of sound and imagery they
were created to hold a
virtual video. Videos were
invented in 1951 by a man
named John T. Mullin. The
last VHS was released for
The film the history of
Violence.

37. DVDS.
DVD stands for Digital Video
Disc. A DVD is a recordable
disc it can hold up to 2 hours
of
recordable footage. The
digital
disc was created by Dr.
Dennis
Wayne Bressack and EFT
Master Andy Bryce in 2007.
The
DVD was created to develop
a
larger information storage
unit

38. Online Streaming.
What is Online Streaming. Online
Streaming means being able to instantly
watch film‟s or music video‟s online either
from your computer or any other internet
connected device‟s. Online Streaming
Was created because people find it easier
to watch the programs they wanted and
also cheaper as they watch it online.
Online streaming may allow you to
download films you enjoy but this is wrong
because it is pirate copying and by pirate
copying films it causes the PC to gain
virus's.

39. Blu Rays.
Blu-ray also known as Blu-ray Disc, is the name
of
a new optical disc format jointly developed by
the
Blu-ray Disc Association. The first Blu-ray Disc
prototypes were unveiled in October 2000 by the
company SONY, the First prototype player was
Released In April 2003 in Japan. Afterwards, it
continued to be developed until its official
release in
June 2006. the Blu-ray digital video disc was
created
because it allows the user to hold more data on
the
disc then the the normal DVD disc. the name

40. HD DVD.
HD DVD stands for. High-Definition Digital Video
Disc. HD DVD is a discontinued high-density
optical disc format for storing data and high-
definition video. Supported principally by
Toshiba, HD DVD was envisioned to be the
successor to the standard DVD format. The first
HD DVD player was released On March 31,
2006 Toshiba released their first consumer-
based HD DVD player in Japan at ¥110,000 (US
$934). HD DVD was released in the United
States on April 18, 2006, with players priced at
$499 and $799. The first HD DVD titles were
released on April 18, 2006. They were The Last
Samurai, Million Dollar Baby, and The Phantom
of the Opera by Warner Home Video and
Serenity by Universal Studios. The HD DVD was
created by Toshiba to store data and high-
definition films.

41. APPLE TV.
Apple TV is a digital media receiver developed
and sold by the company Apple. It is a small
form factor network appliance, designed to
play digital content from all the top brands
allowing you to watch movies, listen to music
etc…. The APPLE TV was created by APPLE
inc in 1977. In September 2006 APPLE first
announced a preview of the APPLE TV, and
began showing the product the following
March. In September 2010, Apple announced
a second-generation version of the Apple TV.
About one-quarter of the size and one-third of
the price of the original Apple TV, the new
device could stream from iTunes and video. A
third generation of the device was introduced
at an Apple event on March 7, 2012, with new
features such as higher resolution and a new
user interface. Although the APPLE TV has
not yet been released the company is shore

42. I think that the video tapes were a great leap
into the modern day‟s technology, allowing
us to watch movies through house hold
items. Unfortunately due to it being a tape
the metallic tape holding the sound and
imagery would get tangled, therefore people
would have to rearrange the data. Also
sometimes the tape would get jammed in
the cassette preventing use from watching
other movies.
Video Tape Over View.

43. DVD Over View.
I personally think that the DVD was and still is
fantastic, even today it still provides us and allows
use to still watch our favorite films, unfortunately
most films made before the first Digital Video Disc
was invented only for the Video Tape this
prevented us from watching movies from Walt
Disney and other film companies. On the plus side
it allows use to store more data and allows use to
watch newer movies. The most normal problem
with the DVD is the fact that it is easy to scratch
and with the scratch‟s it prevents further watching.

44. Online Streaming Over View.
Online streaming is the next technology old is out new
is in!
Online streaming is used more in this century then any
previous ones this is because as time goes on more and
more movies are added to the internet. Online Streaming is
the new generation because unlike Video Tape‟s, DVDS
etc… the web dose not scratch, tangle or annoy, all you have
to do is sit there and depending on the speed of you're PC
you are able to watch films straight away. The downside is
the broadband speed is to slow knower days for online
streaming to be top the broadband speed will have to speed
up and improve the connections around the world.

45. Ben‟s Presentation

46. Task one
 What technologies do the
companies use?

47. analogue
 It was the original television transmission
and people only got a few channels like
BBC one and two and ITV and channel 4
and 5
 Analogue was past to antennas that were
on the roofs of houses though radio waves
were they could get limited channels for a
short amount of time.
 At the end of this year near October
analogue has been said that it will end for
good.

48. satellite
 This is the previous way of transmitting
channels and that everyone is moving
onto because it give a wider range of
channels with over 900 and gives the best
family experience with movies and music
on demand.
 With satellite a dish is put onto homes and
channels are transmitted from a satellite
from space.

49. Cable
 Cable is not as old as analogue but is
older then satellite it was the way of
transmitting television but cable is still
used more and more as it provides
internet sources and also home telephone
lines.
 Cable is transmitted from underground
thought coaxial cables that can power a lot
of things in your house hold even DVD
players.

50. Digital
 Its a lot like sky but without the paying of channels you
can just buy it and that‟s it and they don‟t even cost a lot,
although it doesn‟t have as much channels its still just as
good..
 The channels get transmitted the same as analogue
though an antenna that is on the roof. We changed from
analogue for a lot of reasons but a few are because with
digital the signal wont be corrupted and the features and
picture is a lot better with digital.
 Also people prefer CDs now a days (which are digital)
rather then vinyl records (which are analogue).

51. Emerging technologies
 3D – they are making 3D without the
glasses making the experience even more
real.
 HD – it will be delivering 4x the resolution
then HD now and the definition is going to
be even greater.
 TV for Smartphone's – TV will be
controlled by your mobile phones were
you will be able to watch the TV while
playing games and receiving emails.

53. The Structure of the Video
Industry

54. Producers
Distributors
NetFlix
LoveFilm
Blockbuster
Asda
Tesco
Amazo
n
The Producers
give the product to
the distributors.
These companies
rent out the product
to customers
These
companies sell
the product to
customers
These companies buy the product of the distributors they then sell
the product for a higher price towards how much they paid for it.

55. When the product is first sold to the retailer by
the distributors it is for about £10.50 to £11.80.
the retailer then sell the product at a loss for
the first few weeks. They make a loss of about
£2. They then raise the prices back up to gain
a profit. They do this to draw people in to the
store so that they buy the product and
hopefully also other products related to the
first product.

56. Some of the issues relating to the
way each business is run.
 Piracy: This is a issue because people use this illegal method to
watch the film. People use this method as they don‟t have to pay for
the content or sometimes they have to pay a small piece of the
actual price. this decreases the amount of profits for the actual
content owners.
 Online streaming inappropriate content: This is an issue because
young children can access the websites at any time. This means
that they can watch any type of movie. This is a issue because their
parents or guardians would not want them to be watching different
types of inappropriate content. Another issue is that the actual
content owners lose money as some people have new movies that
have not been paid for.
 DVD sales decreases because of interactive media: This is an issue
because people don‟t have have to buy DVDs as they can access
the same content on the interactive media. This means that DVDs
sales are decreasing rapidly. Many DVD companies will have to
close down as they will see a rapid increase in their losses.

57. Louis‟ Presentation

58. What us meant by the term
independent producers?
Independent producers are company's who can sell there products to any channel. For
example :
 Endemol Programs
1. Deal or no deal
2. Benidorm
3. Big Brother
4. 8 out of 10 cats
 Syco Programs
1. Red or black
2. X Factor USA
3. Britain’s got talent
4. Piers Morgan's Life Stories

59. How and why is the video industry
regulated?
The video industry is regulated by the video standards council. There job is to develop
and oversee a Code of Practice. The video industry also has a lot of the same
regulations as TV for example the equal rights law and libel law. These regulations
are put in place for the publics interest. One of the main regulation’s for the video
industry is BBFC
 BBFC classifies video’s/DVD’s this helps protect the public, especially children from
content which might raise harm risk.
 BBFC empower the public, especially parents to make informed viewing choices
 BBFC provide an effective service to enforcement agencies.
VSC also regulate the video industry. They oversee a Code of Practice designed to
promote high standards within the video industry. They have recently expanded to
promote high standards within the computer games industry.

60. How is the video industry linked
to the TV industry?
•The TV Industry actually makes the Video Industry for example The BBC will
have a video section online
•The TV Industry has the same Rules and regulations for example equal rights
and libel.
•Both of these industry will soon all be on the internet because the internet lets
you watch TV and Video at any time of the day, therefore nobody will want to sit
down at a specific time to watch a video or a TV Program.
• BBC struck a deal with YouTube to promote their products in the Video industry
through YouTube. „‟ The BBC hopes that the deal will help it reach YouTube's
monthly audience of more than 70 million users and drive extra traffic to its own
website‟‟

61. YouTube/channel 4
 YouTube and channel 4 signed a deal to become the first
broadcaster worldwide to make full-length TV shows such as Skins
available to users of the Google-owned video-sharing website.
Channel 4 gets to advertise on YouTube and gets 70% of the profit
whilst YouTube gets 30%. The deal will run for 3 years. A few
examples of what the YouTube viewers will now be able to see are :
 Brass Eye
 Darren brown
 Hollyoaks
 Peep Show
