Following the switch to digital TV, the TV programming industry now has thousands of channels and is dominated by subscription packages. TV broadcasters have benefitted from the lower cost of operating channels online, though streaming services have intensified competition. The spread of channels across multiple platforms has offset a drop in ad spend on TV in the UK, which has weighed on the industry's revenue. With the proliferation of streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video, traditional broadcasters are feeling the heat. However, live TV and bundling TV with other services, like broadband, have supported subscription revenue. Revenue has fallen at a compound annual rate of 9% over the five years through 2024-25 to £10.6 billion. This is because the industry relies on linear advertising revenue and broadcast TV viewership, which have both taken a nosedive. Though major sports events have boosted the number of TV advertising slots, revenue is set to drop by 3.6% in 2024-25. More consumers are turning to streaming platforms for news and entertainment instead of traditional TV broadcasts. Even older viewers, once the bastion of traditional TV, are shifting towards streaming services, signalling an urgent need for broadcasters to innovate or risk fading into obscurity. Intense competition from streaming platforms has weighed on ad spending and dented profit over the five years through 2024-25. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is forecast to dip at a compound annual rate of 0.8% to £10.2 billion. Revenue growth from subscription services and a jump in the TV Licence fee will boost sales for now. However, with the planned abolition of the fee in 2027, public-funded broadcasters like the BBC will need to find alternative funding sources, introducing uncertainty into their future outlook. Second-screen engagement and internet-connected smart TVs will alter viewing experiences in the coming years, with advanced TV programmes and broadcasting technologies likely to emerge following the trend. However, as SVoD services like Netflix incorporate more advertisements into their platforms, traditional TV broadcasters could lose advertising revenue. Netflix subscriptions for its ad-supported tier have trended upwards and this trend could encourage companies and advertising agencies to move their advertising budget from traditional TV broadcasters to SVoD platforms.

The TV programme production industry's performance depends on demand from domestic TV broadcasters, advertising agencies and distributors. This is determined by the amount of time consumers spend watching TV shows. Foreign-funded TV shows have had an increasingly strong influence on the domestic market. At the same time, selling the rights of domestic shows to overseas broadcasters has become vital for domestic studios to remain profitable. Over the five years through 2024-25, TV production revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 0.7% to £14.6 billion. Much of the growth has come through independent studios because of favourable government regulations encouraging funding for smaller production companies. Revenue dropped in 2020-21 because of the COVID-19 outbreak. TV production halted in March 2020 and resumed in June 2020, resulting in delays. Following the lifting of restrictions, an influx of funding from foreign media companies has helped UK studios recover. Still, growth has been slowed.
