BBC:
Video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime now have more subscribers than traditional pay TV services in the UK, new data from Ofcom has revealed.
The media regulator says British TV will have to change the way it operates if it wants to compete with the internet giants.
Sharon White, Ofcom's chief executive, says: "We'd love to see broadcasters such as the BBC work collaboratively with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 so that they have got that scale to compete globally, making shows together, co-producing great shows that all of us can watch.
"I think it would be great to see a British Netflix."

Add anti-Italian propaganda to the list, since the new Italian government has stopped accepting "refugees".
I don't know what happened to German media. You used to be able to count on tough investigative reporting, and a critical attitude to incumbent politicians. Now in the 14th year of Mommy Merkel's reign, they sling the same innuendo against Trump that CNN has aired, run a "your masters know best" line belittling democracy by characterizing policies that the people actually want as "populism", trash their Russian gas supplier, call for an escalation of the war in Syria (though they seemed to have toned that down recently). In short, they take the positions that the losing side in the US has chosen.
Some may say they are trying to form society to prevent the AfD from getting elected, but that is not what journalism is there for.
