Indie Leaders: Future In Focus at Edinburgh TV Festival 2025

At this year’s Edinburgh TV Festival, our CEO Mark Browning was joined on stage by fellow industry leaders from unscripted, scripted, and digital, for a deep dive into the evolving indie sector.

Discussion covered everything from Channel 4’s in-house plans, the possibilities of direct-to-consumer, and the UK’s commissioning culture.

“The way we buy and sell is medieval,” said Browning, highlighting that “more consolidation would enable back-office costs to be reduced, with more money spent on creativity, resulting in better product on screen.”
