Our November issue of Broadcast takes a deep dive into the state of UK commissioning, with industry leaders delivering a stark verdict on a system many now call “broken”. We examine the pressures facing indies, the impact of “fewer, bigger, better”, and how AI and YouTube are reshaping development and decision-making.
This issue also investigates the BBC's approach to outsourcing current affairs, analyses how Donald Trump’s second term could affect the UK sector, and explores how super-indies are adopting AI across their workflows. Plus, our World of Locations guide offers insight into filming across the UK, Ireland and Spain.
At the heart of the issue is the 2025 Commissioner Survey, revealing what 63 commissioners really think about risk, budgets, job security and the future of commissioning in a rapidly changing market.
