Television Business International’s Post

Please read the following announcement from Television Business International (TBI): https://lnkd.in/eQnE95x3 Thank you  The TBI Family

After a great run, the Television Business International (TBI) media brand is closing its doors and this also means an end to the Content Innovation Awards. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest thanks to those that took part in our Awards programme and celebrated with us these past 10 years - we will miss you all! Thank you The TBI Family

Our last TBI Weekly: A Note From the Editor Dearest Reader, Well, it has been quite the ride… The lights will soon be turned off and the curtain brought down, but after more than 35 years of service it seems only right and proper to provide Television Business International (TBI) with a send-off all of its own. My first thanks must go to Les Brown, who founded the title way back in 1988. Since then, TBI has become a stalwart of the TV industry – a name that is known and recognised by those in the business no matter where in the world you are. I can attest to this having both read and written for TBI for more than a decade, like so many others. Its pages have documented everything from the emergence of pay TV to the decline of linear broadcasting and the ongoing drama caused by the shift to streaming. Its archives are a treasure trove of history that reflect how the industry has transformed and how people have adapted along the way. TBI has also moved with the times but while the names of those working for the title might have changed, the mission always remained the same: it is and has always been fiercely independent, providing proper journalism and unique points of view to the industry it serves, with analysis that cuts to the chase. So my second thanks go to those who have contributed to TBI in so many ways over the past three decades, all of whom shared a vision to offer something slightly different to those seeking insight into the wonderful world of TV. It is testament to their expertise that so many former TBI staff remain involved in the industry, both within TV journalism but also far beyond. Particular thanks must go to my fabulous TBI team who have ensured the title continued to punch far above its weight: deputy editor Mark Layton; senior sales manager Michael Callan; marketing chief Abigail Dede Appiah; art director Matthew Humberstone; product development manager Alba Bayes; and our editorial director, Stuart Thomson. It would also be remiss not to draw additional attention to our aforementioned art supremo Matthew Humberstone. Matthew has been with the title for 30 years and seen pretty much everything that the industry can throw at him – he is also the reason that TBI always looked so damn good. My third and final thanks go to you, the reader. We hope you have enjoyed our coverage over the years and we will miss seeing you under the TBI banner. Thank you for your support and from the entire TBI team, we wish you the very best. Farewell, Richard Middleton Read the full note here too ➡ https://lnkd.in/eJT5i52s
