Steven Barnett appointed key adviser for government working group on future of TV
The UK government has unveiled a new initiative to shape the future of British television and Prof. Steven Barnett has been appointed as part of the advisory team. Chaired by Media Minister, Stephanie Peacock MP, the forum will work as a think tank to tackle challenges facing the television industry.
The group will consult with key stakeholders on how changing viewing habits and the rise in audiences watching TV over the internet will impact the future of broadcasting. It will also consider how all viewers, including older people and those without internet connectivity, can continue to access world-class British content as consumer habits continue to change.
Barnett will contribute his expertise alongside other industry leaders including Senior representatives from Ofcom, TV broadcasters, infrastructure operators and organisations representing audiences.
