HBO Max and Paramount+: What It Might Mean For Sports
Today the deal was done, and Paramount took over Warner Bros. Discovery in a massive deal that has much of Hollywood quaking. There were some last minute wrinkles with a deal being struck a couple of weeks ago with a group of US Attorneys General, with the general view being that they folded and didn’t…

The Cathedral of the Marshes
Blythburgh Church – the Cathedral of the Marshes – overlooking the River Blyth, near Southwold. I think this is my favourite shot from the series of photos I made recently in Suffolk.

Radio Times – 26 December 2013
The worst sitcom on British television somehow managed to achieve the unthinkable yesterday, becoming the most watched programme of Christmas Day. We can but hope that once PVR and on demand is added in, something else knocks it off the top. Anything! If you’re the sort of person who watches Mrs Brown’s Boys, then at…

Kite Aerial Photography #3 – Christmas Success
What better day than Christmas Day to have a third attempt at some kite aerial photography? My first couple of attempts were disappointing to say the least. I’ve found it tricky to find both a location and enough wind to get the kite up supporting the camera, but not too much wind to cause me…

Radio Times – Christmas Day 2013
Here’s my sort-of-annual guide to what’s on TV and radio on Christmas Day – as seen through the pages of my annotated Radio Times (as very slightly featured in #6 on this Buzzfeed list). Click on the pictures below to go fullscreen. Flickr has changed the way they do things recently, and that’ll take you…

Video Snippet
While a massive storm rolls across the country, I spent the day editing video. Here’s another snippet of something that’s coming soon. Have you ever seen a murmation of starlings? Well here’s what happens when they gather on a water tower. Starlings on Water Tower near Blythburgh from Adam Bowie on Vimeo.

A Digital Radio Future
This morning, I was in the BBC Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House along with several hundred colleagues who work for broadcasters, regulators, hardware manufacturers, car manufacturers and assorted others to hear Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, stand up and talk about the future of digital radio in this country. The event…

Suffolk
I recently spent a few days in Suffolk. My camera was never far away. This is an Exposure gallery of some my photos. Just playing around with the new photo publishing system. I think it takes work to get it right. And here’s a taster of the video I shot while I was there. Slow…

Ashes Highlights This Winter
Returning to a familiar topic, I note that there are no Ashes highlights on Channel 5 this winter. Instead they’ll be broadcast on Pick TV – Sky’s free-to-air channel available on most platforms including Freeview. They’ll be broadcast nightly at 10pm, just before play begins the following day. Live coveragewill of course be on Sky…

BT and Champions’ League Football
I must admit that like many others, I was surprised to learn over the weekend that BT had bought all the Champions’ League live TV rights exlcusively. At a stroke they’ve knocked both ITV and Sky out of the picture starting from the 2015 season. I’m going to try to unpick the subject a bit…

Kite Aerial Photography #2 – Trent Park in the Wind
A few weeks after my first failure to get a camera airborne, I had another go in a local park. This time there was enough wind. But I was faced with a different problem – too much wind, and too gusty! The kite went straight up without a hitch. But the next problem was really…
