Discussing the UK's Television Production at the Westminster Media Forum
Bringing together producers, broadcasters, distributors and several industry bodies, the UK television production seminar at the Westminster Media Forum is set to be an interesting opportunity for broadcast professionals to consider the emerging opportunities and challenges for the UK television production sector.
Looking at the programme, the event on Thursday 12th March will examine important topics such as the implications of increased consolidation in the UK television production market, how the entrance of global media organisations will affect investment in original UK content and the opportunities for independent producers to supply content to UK broadcasters.
