Does that mean you're repeating The Guardian's talking points?
Or is it possible that a person might hold views that overlap with those perceived also to be put forward by media organisations?
The BBC's success risks suffocating commercial media. Put too many restrictions on the BBC and the risk is of suffocating the BBC. It seems reasonable to me that the government should attempt to find a balance. And, being a government staffed by humans, they make the wrong call sometimes.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoAh the cookie cutter rubbish commercial radio stations. And the GMG is no friend to the BBC and has been know to run hit pieces
- mprev 7y agoYeah, local radio in the UK is mostly rubbish. BBC and commercial. Commercial local radio has been freed of most of the licensing stipulations that required distinctive local programming or specific types of programming. That is a shame but it doesn't follow that all commercial media has to be rubbish. On balance, I think the BBC has been a good thing for the UK. However, it's undeniable that the BBC's presence has made it harder for commercial providers to flourish.
- Lio 7y agoThe BBC has already been constrained and this has not had the desired outcome. Commercial British media companies have not filled the void and have not delivered revenue from new export markets. Instead foreign owned firms including Netflix and Amazon have cornered the UK market.
