BBC Academy TV #FastTrain: "The Future of TV"

Editor's note: "The Future of TV" was a panel discussion which took place on the 17th May, 2012 as part of TV Fast Train 2012.

BBC journalist and former Tomorrow's World host Maggie Philbin.

How will technology influence TV in 1, 3 and 5 years time? How will audiences be sharing, engaging with and reacting to TV content across news, sport and drama? How will broadcasters be measuring success, and what revenue streams will be funding TV in 1,3 and 5 years?

These were just some of the issues raised in "The Future of TV", a panel discussion chaired by BBC journalist and former Tomorrow's World host Maggie Philbin featuring Google's Peter Barron, Daniel Danker from the BBC, digital consultant Nic Newman and Fremantle Media's Peter Cassidy.

In a wide-ranging session, Barron assured the audience that Google has no plans to get into television production or programming, while Danker revealed new figures showing that only 57% of iPlayer doing is done on a computer - the rest is taken up by mobile devices and tablets.
