Public Broadcasters vs. Open Access: The RTVE Controversy

Podnews Weekly Review

The old guard of media gatekeepers are trying to stay relevant as independent creators flourish across podcasting, video, and beyond.
• Spanish broadcaster RTVE blocking Antennapod and other podcast apps while maintaining deals with commercial giants like Apple and Spotify
• BBC Sounds closing for non-UK audiences due to music licensing issues
• Diary of a CEO reaching 3 million people daily, surpassing major US late-night TV shows
• Video podcasts becoming the new basic cable television, with 37% of Americans watching one in the last month
• YouTube setting a new record with 12.8% of all TV usage in the US
• Joe Budden earning over $1 million monthly on Patreon, demonstrating creators can stay independent while building sustainable businesses
• UK media regulator Ofcom warning that traditional public service TV is endangered
• Podcast hosts missing opportunities by not offering premium content options to compete with Patreon and other membership platforms
See if you can tell where Sam realises that he's got to go to another meeting.
