According to Roger Mosey,
‘This summer’s Olympic Games were the UK’s most-watched event of the modern media era. They delivered record audiences for traditional TV channels – but also drove massive consumption on digital services.
What does this summer tell us about big events, the BBC and what audiences want; and how does it affect our thinking about the future of television in a fully-digital world?’
