United Kingdom (population 59,000,000)                        

Cable and satellite are on the up; ITV has merged across the board and shooting platforms will soon be standardised. Commercialisation is rife in the UK, with a proliferation of repeats reflecting the inability of terrestrial TV to meet cable and satellite competition. Channel 4 and possibly Channel 5, plus BBC 2 are the most likely early targets for SCTV in the UK, but we must retain foreign rights.

Cable and satellite in the UK is controlled (wholesale) offshore. In a nutshell, it’s Rupert Murdoch vs. Telewest (US-controlled) vs. NTL (US-managed, with French and other foreign investors).

The ITV and BBC 1 tend not to privilege US product as much as the other three, but are less easily accessible to eSCape tv outside of night programming. Welsh-language TV is well-aligned with eSCape tv’s Internet presence.
