26. How should the worlds of culture, technology and policy interact?

Ed Vaizey has been part of the UK’s cultural leadership for more than a decade, as a UK Government Minister, a member of the House of Lords, a director at the Tate, and now with his own show on Times Radio.

Today he talks to Jane Ostler, EVP of Thought Leadership at Kantar, about pandemic TV viewing, the future of radio and TV, and how data is used. In particular, he explains how cultural institutions such as the Tate can use technology, data and content to build communities of interest that could provide substantial revenues.

Finally, he explains why our hybrid broadcasting system – streamed content plus live broadcasting – on both radio and TV, is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
