New Ofcom research shows investment in UK kids programming down
Controller of business strategy at the BBC James Thickett relayed some of the early results of Ofcom's review into children's programming during a speech at the Voice of the Listener conference in London on Tuesday that confirm what many UK indies already know. According to Thickett, Ofcom's new figures show that across the public service broadcast channels, spend on first-run original children's programming has declined by 20%, from US$217 million per year in 1998 to US$177 million in 2006.
