Not That Personal: A Qualitative Study of Personalization Practices on Six European Public Streaming Services
This article presents key findings from a comparative empirical study of content recommendation on the audiovisual streaming services of six European public service media (PSM) organizations. Due to growing competition with international subscription streaming services, the editorial practices of PSM are developing, combining editorial curation with algorithmic recommendations. Contributing to the fields of PSM, platformization and scheduling stu…
Rethinking watching: A viewer-centred approach to understanding the changing audience experience
Audience research is widely regarded as a crucial area of media scholarship and needed to understand the role of media in society. Significant changes in how and what we watch in recent decades have heightened the need for a reinvigorated and systematic investigation of watching across television and the many screens and sources now common. This conceptual article draws from separate studies of contemporary watching in the US, UK, and Australia t…
Public service algorithms: Balancing the scales between public mission and market pressures at the BBC and VRT
The public service media (PSM) shift to digital-first strategies has generated a rethinking of priorities in content production and distribution. This not only involves the integration of algorithms for the curation of their video-on-demand portals, but also a far-reachingreform at the organisational level. As personalisation through recommender systems is increasingly popularised by commercial streaming services, PSM are faced with a balancing a…
Default viewing: Reconceptualising choice and habit in television audience research
When choosing what to watch, television audiences habitually default to particular channels, shows and apps as part of their everyday routines. Additionally, streaming platforms and devices also default to particular content, services or ads as determined by their software settings. In other words, television viewing is commonly shaped by both behavioural and technological defaults. How can television audience research account for these two disti…
Provocation: An agenda for the future of TV studies: Technology, audiences, stakeholders
As viewing shifts from broadcast to streaming, what should be the role for TV studies? Arguing for the need to account for the multi-faceted nature of contemporary television, this provocation proposes an agenda for the future of TV studies. It argues that the technological consequences of shifting to internet-delivered television demand new theorisations of television as software, new digital tools and methods, and audience research that pays mo…
An audience studies’ contribution to the discoverability and prominence debate: Seeking UK TV audiences’ ‘routes to content’
Despite discoverability and prominence emerging as crucial to contemporary industry and policy debates in relation to online and internet-distributed television, there remains relatively little rich, qualitative data about how contemporary audiences discover content. This article addresses this gap through empirical audience research focused on the ‘routes to content’ through which UK audiences find and decide what television to watch. Defining t…
People, personalisation, prominence: A framework for analysing the PSM shift to digital portals and interrogating universality across contexts
In the context of enhanced platformisation, Public Service Media (PSM) are once again forced to rethink the ways in which they achieve core public values. To this end, PSM have been prioritising the development of their own video-on-demand portals. To contribute to ongoing research, we propose a theoretical framework that can be applied by future PSM work, based on the operationalisation of platformisation in PSM policy documents and strategy. We…
Universality: A Battleground for UK Public Service Media in the Platform Age
This article examines how UK policy makers are redefining the value of universality in the transition from public service broadcasting (PSB) to public service media (PSM). Over the past decade, the UK's media landscape has undergone a significant transformation, driven by the economic, infrastructural and social influence exerted by global platforms. These transforming conditions have profoundly complicated the relationship between PSM and the pr…
Public service television in the age of subscription video on demand: Shifting TV audience expectations in the UK during Covid-19
This article asks how the rise in use of SVOD in the United Kingdom during 2020 impacted people’s expectations of public service television (PSTV). Drawing on 56 qualitative interviews with 28 UK participants conducted in 2019 and 2020, the article uses the COVID-19 lockdown to explore how disruption to the context of viewing might shape the cultural meanings people attach to PSTV. Challenging dominant approaches that measure audience assessments…
Understanding the changing television market: A comparison of the macroeconomy of the United States, United Kingdom and Australia
The business of television has been transformed by digital distribution and internationalisation. The implications of these changes vary based on a range of structural dynamics such as national scale, language and pre-existing norms tied to particular macroeconomic conditions, of which, the balance of funding is key. This article looks beyond the general sense of crisis tied to digital disruption to investigate the macroeconomic conditions that s…

The appisation of television: TV apps, discoverability and the software, device and platform ecologies of the internet era
This article examines the appisation of television: the emergence of apps as a mainstream means of delivering television services/content through smart TVs, connected devices, smartphones and tablets. Exploring the interrelationships between TV content, discovery and aggregator apps, the article demonstrates how content/software providers, device manufacturers and infrastructural platforms vie to control our access to, and experience of, televisi…
Online TV industry and technologies
Chapter 3 asks how we conceptualise the industry responsible for the provision of online TV services. It demonstrates that this is a highly volatile industry composed of multiple different kinds of business operating in a range of sectors with divergent business models. To help navigate this ‘mess’ the chapter outlines two approaches to analysing the online TV industry. It begins by categorising the companies operating online TV services accordin…
Conclusion
Returning to the debates raised in the Introduction and drawing on the analysis developed across the book, the conclusion argues that the internet era can be understood as a period of particular volatility for television. This volatility manifests itself in a variety of ways: definitions of television are unstable; the internet ecosystem within which online TV services sit is fluid and fast-changing; the industry that produces online TV services …
Online TV content production and distribution
Chapter 4 turns its attention to the ways in which content and intellectual property (IP) rights function as a core site of competition and co-dependence in the online TV industry. Arguing that content production and distribution need to be understood as intertwined, the chapter shows that the internet age upsets established industry practices for originating, licensing and delivering content. This challenge to TV industry norms comes to the fore…
Online TV interfaces
Chapter 5 focuses on the role of interfaces in constructing viewing experiences within online TV services. Building on earlier arguments about the centrality of frames for shaping our experience of watching online TV this chapter focuses on the frame of the interface. The chapter demonstrates the importance of the interface in shaping our access to television programmes and framing our experiences of watching television. Through user-experience d…
From broadcast to online TV
This introductory chapter examines how to conceptualise television as a medium in a period of increased convergence between television and the internet. It argues that growth in access to high-speed broadband and 4G, and ownership of smartphones, tablets and internet-connected television sets creates the conditions for a new internet era of television to emerge. In this era, the internet is both competing with and transforming television as a med…
Online TV data and algorithms
Chapter 6 continues the examination of the frames that shape the experience of watching television by analysing the role of data and algorithms in structuring access to online TV, from their use in production and interface design to their role in changing advertising practices and shaping user recommendations. It asks how the ways in which online TV services use data and algorithms differ from earlier uses of data in the production and distributi…
Defining online TV
Chapter 2 asks how to define television in an internet era in which television and the internet are increasingly interconnected. It sets out a definition of online TV that considers the continuities as well as the changes to television as a medium as it enters the internet era, while at the same time distinguishing online TV services from other audiovisual and television-related services available online. In doing so, it defines online TV as serv…
Online TV
With growth in access to high-speed broadband and 4G, and increased ownership of smartphones, tablets and internet-connected television sets, the internet has simultaneously begun to compete with and transform television. Online TV argues that these changes create the conditions for an emergent internet era that challenges the language and concepts that we have to talk about television as a medium. In a wide-ranging analysis, Catherine Johnson se…

Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015: A novel analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Stud…
BACKGROUND: National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses of mortality amenable to health care only focused on high-income countries and faced several methodological challenges. In the present analysis, we use the highly standardised cause of death and risk factor …
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases for 10 Causes, 1990 to 2015

OBJECTIVES: The GBD (Global Burden of Disease) 2015 study integrated data on disease incidence, prevalence, and mortality to produce consistent, up-to-date estimates for cardiovascular burden. METHODS: CVD mortality was estimated from vital registration and verbal autopsy data. CVD prevalence was estimated using modeling software and data from h…
Beyond catch-up: VoD interfaces, ITV Hub and the repositioning of television online

In debates about the commercialization of public service broadcasting little attention has been paid to the ways in which the public might experience the commercial and public service activities of public service broadcasters and the impact that this may have on the reputations of public service broadcasters. This is despite the fact that public service broadcasters increasingly depend on public support for their continued survival. Using the cas…

Tele‐branding in Tviii: The network as brand and the programme as brand
In the era of TVIII, characterised by deregulation, multimedia conglomeration, expansion and increased competition, branding has emerged as a central industrial practice. Focusing on the case of HBO, a particularly successful brand in TVIII, this paper argues that branding can be understood not simply as a feature of television networks, but also as a characteristic of television programmes. It begins by examining how the network as brand is cons…
