Broadcasters try to wrest back more control from independent producers | Media Not much connects ITV's lush Downton Abbey with Channel 4's teenage laughfest The Inbetweeners but two of this autumn's hit programmes share a provenance. They are both made by independent production companies, and the broadcasters buy a licence to screen them. Now this system is under stress and may even be in danger of breaking down. The interests of broadcasters and independent producers rarely dovetail, but the gap appears to be worsening just at a point when a fresh modus vivendi is needed - by next year, when internet-enabled television is expected to bring about a fragmented online world. Broadcasters are dealing with the negotiations in different ways but all of them want change. Fresh look The BBC, the UK's biggest spender on independent production, is in negotiation with Pact and Jana Bennett, the director of vision, is "careful not to hold negotiations in public". The current negotiations are seen as an attempt by broadcasters to wrest back a bit of that control.
Eventbrite iPhone app now lets organizers scan ticket barcodes Eventbrite has updated its Easy Entry iPhone app with a smart feature: barcode scanning. People have become more accustomed to having ticket collectors scan their tickets, so scanning of a barcode on a printed out Eventbrite ticket makes complete sense and will help to move entry lines faster. The new version of the app also displays the attendee’s email, ticket type (i.e. student, press, etc) and payment method under the attendee’s name once they have been checked in. One of the main advantages to this app, according to Eventbrite, is that unlike more traditional event scanners, if there are multiple ticker collectors/scanners at the door, the Eventbrite app syncs all of the attendee arrivals from each phone/iPod Touch into the organizer’s central Eventbrite dashboard in basically real-time.
