2025 is a significant year for accessibility in public service media, with broadcasters keen to make their content more accessible for everyone, the introduction of the EAA and the growing use of AI in daily workflows. The new report is a timely look at the current state of access services in Europe

Spent my weekend in the beautiful city of Parma for some food, coffee and football. Took in the Parma v Como match, but the reason why I was in the area was for the Sassuolo v Roma game! Glad we dug in and defended our 1-0 win. The atmosphere from the Roma fans was brilliant. Relentless support.

Brilliant atmosphere last night. Big summer ahead of Servette with René Weiler, Dereck Kutesa and Enzo Crivelli leaving the club. It’s great that we finished second, which means more European adventures. The main immediate goal is to reach a group stage. And competing for the title, of course!

Ventured into Bregenz for a quick Austrian second-division football match and wandered around the old town and Lake Constance before the Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz-SV Stripfing game. The visitors won 3-1. Given the weird Friday 6pm KO time and the distance involved, there were no away fans. A bit unusual.
