90% of the BBC wasn’t crud. Even if you didn’t like it. Until the early 90s it was making programming commercial companies couldn’t justify or take a risk on. This programs were fantastic and impacted the entire world.
This was a corporation (the BBC) who made their own cameras and microphones.
Go and watch “Ways of seeing” on YouTube. It’s 50 years old and still as exciting and relevant as it was then.
It was most when conservatives decided that the truth felt a little too left wing and they became vocal about not wanting to fund things they didn’t find entertaining.
Hence quality was traded for populism.
