- Description
- Written by Patrick Barwise and Robert G. Pickard, this report is an independent contribution to the debate on the future of the BBC and uses a range of scenarios to compare the current UK television market with what it might be like if there were no BBC TV. The report assumes that one outcome would be the increase in content investment by commercial broadcasters, but that nonetheless, total TV industry revenue would be lower, total content investment would be lower, investment in first-run UK content would be 20-25% lower and that most viewers would suffer a reduction in both choice and value for money.
