TV News Programmes - Heading Off Air?

In his expert piece for Celebro Media Networks, James Rodgers argues that among the triumphs, the recent history of television also tells tales of false prophecies and of successful track records coming to an inglorious end. The TV news programmes may prove to be more enduring than was once predicted – even if we have plenty of other ways of getting it than through our TV.Delivered originally by satellite or cable, and later on digital terrestrial, 24 hour news channels have been among the winning formats. Here in the UK, we think of the way that CNN stung the BBC into action after its

Waves versus the Web: Why TV and Radio still beats the Internet for delivering information when we need it most

Two things happened today that should give anyone who relies on the Internet for entertainment and information a bit of a wake-up call. That is to say most of us.The first thing that happened was global. A huge DoS (denial of service) attack slowed the Internet around the world. In what has been described as the biggest cyber-attack of its kind in history - services across the world have been disrupted and widespread congestion risks jamming crucial online infrastructure. The BBC have written more about the issue here . Already there

Who Will Police the TV of the Future?

TV is still a very regulated and controlled marketplace. But how does IPTV fit into this? How can a French broadcasting regulator control an Iranian TV channel if the channel is not licensed in France? IPTV will pose a serious challenge to policy makers and it almost certainly will lead to some abuses.One of the best things about TV these days is the choice. Gone are the days when you had the choice of just 4 or 5 terrestrial channels, gone too, even, are the days when you had the choice of 200-300 satellite channels. Today, if you have your screen plugged in to the Internet you can take

Beating the blocks: How IPTV brings democracy to distribution

International experience shows that attempts by a state to control online media, and particularly access to international news sources, are unlikely to be successful. You may be able to jam a traditional broadcast signal but new media technology such as IPTV is difficult to block and can support freedom of speech and democracy.In 2011 the BBC Persian Service woke up to find that it was off air. This was no power failure or transmitter fault. Somebody was jamming their satellite signal. This is not the work of an amateur. Satellite jamming is an expensive and highly sophisticated technology.

Destination IPTV: Impressions from Russia

We all know people who say “I don’t watch TV anymore” – that number is growing and a generation of young people seems to be turning away from TV to watching video online. This is a problem everywhere in the world but in Russia it brings a very specific problem. If the broadcasters start to struggle, some may not survive.  If that happens, who will provide the content for IPTV?I was recently a guest at Sviaz-Expocomm 2012, Russia’s largest international exhibition for the telecommunications industry, and was not that surprised to see that IPTV was the main talking point. Perhaps I shouldn’

Future of Television: 3DTV or IPTV?

It is an exciting time to be working in TV. Whether you work in production, distribution, PR or engineering - the technology and medium of TV is undergoing a revolution. None of us have a crystal ball but even if we did - it will be hard to predict exactly where TV will end up in 10 years time. One thing is clear - TV seems to be moving in two apparently different directions.This divergence becomes particularly apparent when you look at the two biggest technology buzz words - 3DTV and IPTV. These two technologies both have the power to transform the way we watch TV but at the same time they

James Rodgers: IPTV Opportunities in Television News Industry

In his article for Celebro Media Networks, James Rodgers states that IPTV offers huge possibilities for television news and current affairs, representing opportunities where previously, for reasons of censorship or cost, there were none.I spent two decades working as a producer and correspondent in television news. One of the biggest changes I noticed in that time was neatly summed up by a senior BBC News executive in a conversation we had recently. ‘Twenty years ago, when you came to work, you worked on better kit than you had at home. You didn’t have kit at home, did you?’ they pointed
