We are now back from our extremely action packed weekend at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. The experience has been invaluable, and great fun. We have engaged with the debates happening around the industry at the moment, made contacts with broadcasters and with other Independents, and met some great up and coming talent.

Rachel and Steven were interviewed on News 24 with Nick Hyan on Sunday afternoon, who asked about how we found the festival and what our plans are. We felt this TV debut went very well although it was very nerve-wracking – the shortest 4 minutes of our lives! Framework Television’s Development Researcher Niki also made a stage debut at the TVYP session, making it down to the last two in a game to test how well the industry understands young people and the way they consume television and new media.

Rachel was also interviewed by phone for Annie Othen’s BBC Coventry and Warwickshire radio show on Wednesday 22nd August. We’ve now managed to cover all media, as Rachel also wrote a diary blog of Framework’s time at the festival for the Broadcast website (www.broadcastnow.co.uk)! Each day’s entry is now available to view, and the blog will also form the basis of a feature in the next edition of the Broadcast magazine.
