AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

BBC Restructuring: BBC Scotland faces 60 job cuts, with a former editor warning that its senior presenter line-up could shrink from nine to seven. The cuts form part of a planned 2,000-job reduction across the corporation. Advertising & Sponsorship: UK ad spend rose 32% in the first half of 2026, taking retail media to £2bn. AEG and O2 also renewed their arena naming-rights deal through 2038 in a reported £200m agreement. Newsroom Strategy: Reform UK is advertising for journalists to join a new “national newsroom”, as the party sharpens its media operation. Platform Regulation: Ofcom is probing Meta over child-safety duties, while a separate UK inquiry examines Instagram Instants. Screen Industries: The UK Global Screen Fund awarded more than £1.7m in its latest round, and the West Midlands confirmed £100m for creative industries as it strengthens its position as a major filming hub.
