Show Notes
Greg Childs, director of the Children’s Media Foundation, discusses the decline of traditional children’s television in the UK, the rise of YouTube and TikTok as children’s primary viewing platforms, and what this shift could mean for public service broadcasting.
We explore how changes to advertising rules and algorithms are transforming the economics and nature of children’s content, the BBC’s new deal with YouTube, and the growing debate over whether regulation should aim to “build better” online spaces or restrict children’s access to social media.
