TV Licenses

-

TV Licenses Research:

  1.  A TV license is a fee paid to the BBC for the use of a television. The BBC is government funded- meaning the money from the license funds the channel, leading to no adverts, but a restriction on the shows the BBC can put out. It allows you to watch and record TV shows, including online streaming
  2. The act is the Communication Act 2003 under section 363 making it illegal to watch or record TV that are being broadcasted without a TV licence.
  3. The Government is responsible for setting the charge- Pay-point collect the money for the BBC and transfer it over.
  4. £150.50 for a colour TV and £50.50 for a black and white one, if you're blind or severely the price is halved to £75.25
  5. The majority of people who don't pay their TV Licence are older people as they're often unaware of the payment or against it. Upon trying to contact those evading, staff has experienced verbal and even physical assault on the subject.
  6. In 2015-16 there were three million visits to people presumed to be avoiding- only 298.00 were caught. During this time the BBC lost £251 million in 2015 and £291 million in 2016.
  7. Its more likely for people to be fined for evading the payment, often being in the 1000s but in 2015, 180,000 were charged, but only 70 people were jailed for failing to pay the fine and its constantly lower.

Notes On The Guardian: Due to audience fragmentation, helped created by modern streaming sites such as Netflix  and demand, as well as the desire of 'Mega-Budget' shows and movies on a constant conveyor belt of content, the low - mid budget  film industry has taken a massive hit in their audiences interests. Domestic UK films such as Train Spotting and Oscar-winning The Lobster , have plummeted in popularity since their realise, making less grossing, despite their high praise. In comparison to high budget franchises, they build so much euphoria before realise do to their brand or characters consumers have fallen in awe of over several movies, limiting the demand for low budget movies further.

Answer all questions. Section A 1(a)  Identify two costs that Ian needs to consider when developing the 247Me app and explain how these costs impact on the project. (6) Despite doing target research through a local market research company to lower costs, this is still a big cost Ian should consider and keep in mind while budgeting as the target research will help make this app look appealing to the 14-24 year old target, which have very different tastes and opinions. Another cost would be paying his personnel, Ella and Josh, to do the physical creation and design of the app itself which if they need help since Ella is a new graphic designer, you may need to hire and pay outside assistance to come in and aid the project.  (b)  Identify one type of project management tool that Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for this task.  (3) For this project, since there is only...
