Unveiling the new Freely brand campaign 'Set yourself Freely' created and devised by @TMWagency@Freely_tv#FreelyTV

Free TV is ‘alive and well, and kicking’ @laheggessey tells industry experts at Outside the Box 2024.
Heggessey praises UK PSBs for what they do best, ‘hearing British voices, seeing British life’ on screen, referencing the biggest TV moments from the past year. #OTB24#Freely
Everyone TV chairman @erikhuggers speaking yesterday at #OTB24 on what makes free TV in the UK so unique. The unrivalled, world-class content from the UK’s public service broadcasters paired with their ability to collaborate. @BBC@ITV@Channel4@channel5_tv
And with that, we wrap-up another fantastic Out of the Box conference. With huge thanks due to @cathynewman, our host extraodinaire.
#OTB24 over and out!
Broadcasters at the highest levels collaborating not just agreeing in the direction of travel feels like a monumentally important moment for the industry. You have to jump on this boat now, says Erik. #OTB24
The PSB ecosystem is incredibly valuable in the UK country it is no surprise to @erikhuggers that the UK's creative industry is so strong and internationally respected. @freely_tv is making an enormous step where IP streaming will be the main way people consume video #OTB24
@andrewmarr9 highlights the crucial role terrestrial channels play in keeping outlets honest & halting the increasing influence of the way social media has changed news distribution. News with an angle is a bit more exciting & presenters emoting for clicks. #OTB24
Politicians rarely come on to a show knowing what they want to convey to the public, or what they believe in remarks @andrewmarr9 and @DamianCollins suggests the redemption for both professions can be sought in authenticity. Standing up for what you believe in cuts through #OTB24
As a politician on a show, there isn’t enough time to talk about what you’d like to after you’ve covered the issue of the day. Other than having your view confirmed, what are you going to learn from an interview like that asks @damiancollins#OTB24
The body language and dynamic between journalist and politicians is combative. Journalists can use aggression where politicians evade. @andrewmarr9 recollects an interview with Boris Johnson whose evasive manoeuvres were akin to “lying down under a very slow moving tank”. #OTB24
The shift from dining with to dining on politicians came about in the 1960s says @andrewmarr9 when those conducting interviews spoke as and believed themselves equals to politicians for the first time. #OTB24
The politics of PSB take centre stage here at #OTB24 as @AndrewMarr9 dives into conversation with @DamianCollins OBE MP, Former DCMS Minister & Former Chair of the DCMS Select Committee. They’ll be discussing the ever changing relationship between politicians and the media #OTB24
@ayeshahazarika Politicians can pick and choose who they want to do things with, outlets like GB News likely to play interesting role in this dynamic We don’t have anywhere where the PM/Cabinet sit and faces questions for longer than 7mins, hard to get to the meaty Qs #OTB24
@craigoliver100 highlights a problem in politics: way too much campaigning not enough governing from politicians but also a problem in journalist’s lens of polling & Westminster. #OTB24
Broadcaster & Journalist @ayeshahazarika doesn’t buy the premise people are turning from news but rather we don’t offer a range or style of stories. Paxman style interview and space for in-depth reporting. Post Office scandal only entered mainstream news from an ITV drama #OTB24
