STV Radio, Scottish Indies and RAJAR Results
Bobby Hain, Graham Bryce, Paul Sheehan, Adam Bowie, Anne-Claire Christie and Jon Willers join Matt Deegan
The Media Club heads to Glasgow to explore how Scottish media is meeting the challenge of fragmentation. We’re joined by STV’s Bobby Hain on their audience strategy, Graham Bryce on launching STV Radio (Scotland’s first national commercial station), and Paul Sheehan from STV Studios on navigating the commissioning slowdown whilst doubling revenue targets.
We’re covering this quarter’s RAJAR results with Adam Bowie - who’s up, who’s down, and whether radio listening hours are slowly slipping below the 20 hours-per-week mark. Thanks to radio experts - a sound perspective - for sponsoring this week’s episode.
Also on the show, the BBC are planning another 6 Music spin-off station, how Scottish indies like Specky Productions and The Development Network are adapting to changing markets, and why the Time Team reboot proves legacy IP can thrive in the digital age.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we play “Media Master” - testing knowledge of the week’s media stories in Ken Bruce style, from Mark Thompson’s BBC approach to significant new podcast networks.
