YouTube now the second most-watched media service in the UK
YouTube is now the second most-watched media service in the UK behind the BBC and ahead of ITV, according to an annual Ofcom report. Overall, people spent an average of four hours and 30 minutes a day watching TV and video content at home in 2024, with broadcast TV still making up 56% of in-home viewing, the regulator said. However, YouTube is 'leading the charge' in the streaming takeover of TV sets, with the service now the first place younger viewers go as soon as they switch on. At home, people spent 39 minutes a day on YouTube in 2024, with 16 minutes of this on the household's TV set. Younger adults aged 16 to 34 are driving the trend, watching 18 minutes of YouTube a day on TV, while one in five children aged four to 15 (20%) head straight to the app as soon as they turn the set on. Even those aged over 55 have almost doubled the time they spend watching YouTube on their TVs compared with the previous year – up from six minutes a day in January 2023 to 11 minutes in December. YouTube's soaring popularity comes as the platform's content has evolved, with half of its top-trending videos now more closely resembling traditional TV, including long-form interviews and game shows, Ofcom said. On average, people spent 4% less time watching broadcast TV on TV sets than in 2023, with their average viewing dropping to two hours and 24 minutes a day, according to the report. Just as in 2023, a decline was seen across all age groups except adults aged 75 and over. Ed Leighton, Ofcom's interim group director for strategy and research, said: 'Scheduled TV is increasingly alien to younger viewers, with YouTube the first port of call for many when they pick up the TV remote. 'But we're also seeing signs that older adults are turning to the platform as part of their daily media diet too. 'Public service broadcasters are recognising this shift – moving to meet audiences in the online spaces where they increasingly spend their time. But we need to see even more ambition in this respect to ensure that public service media that audiences value survives long into the future.' Gavin & Stacey, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and Mr Bates vs The Post Office were the most-watched TV programmes and films of 2024. Gavin & Stacey: The Finale was the most-watched programme of the year, averaging 18.6 million viewers across BBC One and BBC iPlayer on TV sets.

Gregg Wallace defends John Torode
Gregg Wallace has defended his former MasterChef co-star John Torode after they were both sacked by the BBC. A report into the TV show upheld an allegation of an "extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace", with John, 60, later identifying himself as the individual alleged to have used racist language in 2018 or 2019. On July 15, the corporation announced that John's contract would not be renewed although Torode has denied using a racist word and said he has "no recollection" of using racist language. Gregg, 60, told The Sun newspaper: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. "I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. 'And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years. "There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through.' Gregg was also sacked by the BBC after the investigation into his alleged inappropriate behaviour was released, with 45 out of 83 allegations substantiated, including claims of inappropriate sexual language, humour, and one reported incident of "unwelcome physical contact". And, while Gregg has admitted he made mistakes, he denied the allegations against him. He said: 'I'm not saying I'm not guilty of stuff, but so much has been perceived incorrectly. Things that really hurt me and hurt my family.'

Underground Music Showcase preps for its swan song
The sun will soon set on the Underground Music Showcase. The big picture: The indie music festival announced earlier this year its 25th edition would be its last — and organizers are planning an epic swan song starting this Friday. What they're saying:"We can't predict the future — but we can promise this: The final UMS in its current form will be legendary," its website reads. Why it matters: The musical spectacle on South Broadway will be sorely missed in a city with few major music festivals, and one that made it its mission to elevate independent and new, rollicking voices. State of play: More than 200 artists will perform across four stages and 12 venues over the weekend. Three local acts to check out: DeVotchKa: Founded in Denver, these UMS headliners playing Sunday on the Showcase Stage are perhaps best known for providing the uplifting sound behind the popular indie film "Little Miss Sunshine." Nina de Freitas: The Brazilian-born singer will perform Friday and Sunday, serenading the crowds with her soulful, longing ballads. Keenan TreVon: Hailing from Aurora, TreVon makes his UMS debut this year, bringing his upbeat, poppy, occasionally bedroom-rock to the Hi Dive on Friday. If you go: Weekend passes are still available starting at $150, including ticket and fees, while single-day tickets start at $88, including fees. The festival runs along South Broadway between Sixth and Alameda. Hours will vary from Friday (4pm–2am), Saturday (2pm–2am) and Sunday (2pm–11pm).
