Title: No BBC "What if?"
Post by Administrator on Feb 27^th, 2014, 9:15am

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has published a report here, which asks the question..

"What If There Were No BBC Television?
The Net Impact on UK Viewers"

"This independent contribution to the debate on the future of the BBC uses a range of scenarios to compare the current UK television market with what it might be like if there were no BBC TV; this provides a benchmark for understanding the effects of less extreme choices."

What do you think?
What would the UK broadcasting scenario look like if the BBC (as it stands) was no more, had to take advertisements or rely on subscriptions?

And what about Radio?
