E4 is currently showing Big Brother with a large graphic labelled "live" on screen. E4+1 is currently showing Big Brother with a large graphic labeled "live" on screen. Obviously they're both live cos the logo on screen says so. Yet...

Unions suspend planned BBC strike [BBC News] Did the BBC blink first?...

The 'N-word' proves too much for BBC bosses As some media reports claim that if BBC management are to be clever in forcing the unions to back down in the dispute over job cuts they should try and split the...

It would appear that the BBC unions significantly overestimated the effect they could have on broadcast output, if yesterday's efforts are anything to go by. Despite an apparently good turnout, I am sure that ordinary viewers and listeners will have...

Having spent some time reflecting on the stirke at the BBC, I find myself in the unenviable position of being able to see both sides, to see that, yes, the BBC does need to live within its means, but also...

When the BBC strikes were announced, BECTU said they wanted "blank screens and dead air". And they were sure they were going to get it. And so yesterday around 10,000 staff* didn't turn up to work to show their anger...

Then call this number now!...

Licence fee talks that motivated bosses' tough stance It's fairly obvious that the main reason for Mark Thompson's proposed changes to the BBC is less to do with saving money but more concerned with forcibly increasing the quota of independent...

The Scotsman on the BBC strike Britain in the 21st century is a very different place to the Britain I grew up in. This probably sounds obvious, but the differences continue to creep up on me and surprise me. Perhaps...

The Times: ITV gloats as BBC weathers storm Apparantly ITV rejected the software that the BBC is now using for its weather graphics because the graphics "just left the viewer confused". Mind you, what's the betting if the new BBC...

The Changes in BBC Weather Graphics I'm red-green colour blind. Therefore, changes in brown and green are not the easiest things for me to see, particularly in detail on a moving shot. Therefore I'm really not impressed with the BBC's...

Unions announce BBC strike dates (Note, this is a BBC Link) So, a strike then. While I could take the practical and human issue of the job cuts and what they mean, I won't, because most of the people will...

Bragg tells politicians to stop 'penalising' ITV Lord Bragg is right when he claims that "ITV took its eye off the ball in the 90s" - indeed much can be blamed on the failed ONdigital/ITV Digital project, since 'ITV' at...

Well, having reviewed the night of the general election, there are several points that spring up in my mind. First, one thing that ITV actually did right, was to have a small degree of humour injected, via political cartoonist Gerald...

Paxman v Galloway (transcript and video) Election coverage highlight for many must surely be the acrimonious exchange between the BBC's Jeremy Paxman and George Galloway of Respect, moments after the latter had been declared the winner in a bitter...

Well if you too didn't see Sky News's studio (also simulcast on Five) well you didn't miss much. Rather drab and boring actually - rather grey and with the presenters sat there with lots of computer screens. Like the ITV...

So. It's election night, and it's time to see what's happening on the TV. Firstly, the BBC. Their studio is lovely. Much nicer than ITV's rather dull, blue effort. Except for Michael Portillo's tie. But then I'd have thought Portillo...

This is money.co.uk is reporting that industry insiders believe that Charles Allen could be looking to revive ITV Digital by purchasing Top Up TV. Now, combine this info with the purchase of SDN earlier this week, and it would...

It's General Election time again in the UK, so this month's issue has a distinctly political flavour, although we've been careful to put it all in one place - namely in a TBS Election Special meta-edited by Russ J Graham....
