This is a report produced by Broadcast Intelligence using the Programme Index data, which tracks programme announcements across the core territories: the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
In this report, we analyse the commissioning trends in our core territories for H1 of 2026, with a focus on the UK and the top five commissioning broadcasters across our other markets. We have also examined other pertinent developments in these territories, including the Sky/ITV merger and the significant drop in commissions in the Australian television market.
Attached is the 2026 Data Download, from Broadcast Intelligence's Programme Index, that shaped this report.
