EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The non-terrestrial television industry in the UK is experiencing a period of unprecedented growth. Between 1991 and 1995, total subscription, sponsorship and advertising revenues increased from £140m to £984m, an increase of 602.9 percent. Key Note estimates that in 1996, the value of the market will be £1.55bn, excluding telecommunications revenue to the cable operators. This huge growth in revenues reflects the increasing consumer penetration of both cable and satellite television. In July 1996, BSkyB claimed that it had 3.2 million dish subscribers and 2.2 million cable subscribers.

The increasing market penetration of multichannel television is a function of the marketing efforts of BSkyB and the continuing extension of the broadband cable networks. By the end of 1996, cable operators will have invested £7.4bn in constructing their networks, and by the end of the century, this figure is expected to reach over £10bn. With the dramatic growth in subscription television, has come an increasing fragmentation of audiences. Broadcasters in the terrestrial and non-terrestrial sectors are under pressure to maintain audience share. The projected launch in 1997 of Channel 5 and the possible privatisation of Channel 4, suggest that these pressures will intensify in 1997.

All major players in the broadcasting market are anxious to open up new streams of revenue, from the larger ITV companies, to the BBC and BSkyB. In all of this frenetic wheeling and dealing, the much hyped advent of digital terrestrial broadcasting, seems further away than ever. Into this maelstrom comes the Broadcasting Bill, with its loosening of the rules governing cross-media ownership.

The flight of quality programming, from the terrestrial to the non-terrestrial sector that started with sport and films, will continue into the next 5 years, with drama, documentaries and news coverage. Many of the companies that are exclusively terrestrial operators in 1996, will derive an increasingly large proportion of their revenues from the cable and satellite television market by 2001. Key Note estimates that by the year 2001 the total value of the non-terrestrial television market will be approximately £4.5bn.
