14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Ian, you have referred a number of times to the changing viewing habits of children, without being explicit about what those changing habits are. In the last session we had YouTube, and today we are going to have TikTok and Instagram. “FYI” was an award-winning 15-minute television slot that used to play multiple times

Are channels worth having? Are they worth defending? In a world where you can do video on demand, even if it is a parent with a child under seven and the parent can set the controls in advance, is it worth defending the concept of a channel—and how are you doing that?

You are saying that you do not have charity scams, for example, on your platform.

You say it is not on Instagram or TikTok?

Really quickly, can you talk us through the criteria or the triggers for getting payouts from the creator fund for a video? Things like unmutes, duration time and so on—what is the summary, very quickly?

Wow. Okay.

That is a fake Instagram account and a real Instagram account. Those are old words now. Are you honestly telling me those are not terms that you are familiar with?

Indeed. I am going to ask Rebecca a similar question in a moment, but in the wake of red versus blue, have you done an analysis to see if anybody made money out of it—from the creator fund, for example?

I appreciate that. I know why. I am trying to gauge, and not just about your programme—

I realise that you are a TV guy and not a doctor, but in your professional judgment, you spend a lot of time thinking about children and what children watch and consume. You have both used the word “enriched” and talked about how you enrich children’s lives. Do you think that it is a good development for our society to

This is about the change overall. Maybe it is a misty-eyed look back at a world that is long gone and we cannot do anything to bring it back, but I think it is not a bad thing to ask whether we think the change, even if it is irreversible, is a good thing or a bad thing—and not just in news but in general. There is a m

Okay. How do you feel about this change in the way that the news is—

Louise, you run channels. Give us a good defence of channels.

Other people estimate it. You have no estimates?

14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

But you have a product that presents a curated set of content, with some variety and balance. Do you think there is a benefit to that compared with a totally self-selected world?

32
14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

That is to sign up. That was not the question. The question was: if you are in the programme, what are the triggers for being paid out on video watches?
