Jonathan Thompson, CEO of Everyone TV, on Freely and the future of free television in the UK
Manage episode 485516866 series 3400167
Jonathan Thompson is Chief Executive of Everyone TV, the organisation that runs free television in the UK.
In this episode Jonathan discusses the launch of the UK's newest streaming platform, Freely, which brings together live and on demand content from the UK's public service broadcasters. We explore what Freely offers, its accessibility, and its role in preserving public service broadcasting. We explore critical issues facing UK television: how to maintain content diversity, attract younger viewers, and ensure public service content remains prominent in an increasingly fragmented digital landscape.
"Somewhere near a third of homes are purely internet TV households."
