That’s all from tonight’s event! Find out what events we have coming up here: bit.ly/3ji58iu #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: The creative industries council (@CreativeIndsUK) is a liaison between the creative industries and the government. The council is currently working on a plan for economic growth across the country and getting more talent into our sector #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: The @BBC’s job is to hold the government to account, so the government is going to resent them, we should expect that, but in the end common sense has always asserted itself #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: 20 years ago reality and talent shows were new genres but we haven’t had a new genre in a while. When #BigBrother first started it vastly improved media literacy in the country #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: The online harms bill won’t make the internet easily regulated. You can pass the law and it might make some difference, but regulating the internet is a massive challenge #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: Arguing about the BBC’s mechanism is fine but that’s all you hear. There’s all sorts of reasons why we want the BBC and that’s why we’re discussing how to fund it, because we want to preserve the BBC #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: My prediction would be that @Channel4 might well move out of London altogether and I think that would be rather excellent #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: The Queen came to visit @itvcorrie because her dresser was obsessed with the show, and her dresser used to make her watch it #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: The soaps examine social issues, things we care about, things we're uncertain about - you don’t get that with internationally appealing programming. You need that rich culture. It is important to have a healthy ecology that delivers those programmes #RTSEvents


.@PeterBazalgette: Every year the schedule gets smaller, the number of people watching grows, and the number of streaming services grows, so the bulk of the output of PSB media will mostly be streamed in the future - @BBCiPlayer, @All4 and @ITVX #RTSEvents

That's all from our panellists! Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you check out our future events including Thursday's In Conversation with Peter Bazalgette at the May Fair Theatre! bit.ly/3ji58iu


.@JLoveRage: the way Twitter monetises video is very different to other platforms and it’s hard to make it work. They don’t seem to focus on their video so neither do we #RTSEvents


Lucy Luke: You need to make sure that when you’re commissioning that you have someone in the room representing the digital space. That way you can start thinking about the edit and how you will send the content out #RTSEvents


.@JLoveRage: You can never predict what content will do well. Our fastest growing TikTok account for a while was River Monsters and it was about fishing. It’s the youth’s platform but… fishing! #RTSEvents


.@JLoveRage: If it’s fan oriented content don’t look at it as piracy, look at it as useful data. Claim it and monetise it, but also maybe look at what platform it’s on and why it’s connecting #RTSEvents


.@JLoveRage: We had a livestream about beekeeping for @DiscoveryUK that got stuck looping the first 3 seconds. But viewing went through the roof so we just stuck with it #RTSEvents


.@spliggle: 8/9 years ago, commissioners tried taking YouTubers and putting them on TV in a more linear format. It didn’t work. The content wasn’t great and the audiences didn’t move with them #RTSEvents


Neil Price: The thing that drove the uptake of @YouTube Premium was the features e.g. YouTube Music. We already have 2 billion monthly active users so unlike other SVoD platforms we don’t have to ask ourselves: why would someone keep paying for this? #RTSEvents


Neil Price, Strategic Partner Manager, UK Partnerships, @YouTube: A friend of mine asked her younger sister who her favourite YouTube creators were and she said: Holly and Phil. Who would have thought that @thismorning would be a YouTube sensation? #RTSEvents
