| Abstract: | The BBC has constantly sought to justify its state support by claiming that it must offer 'public-service' broadcasting. David Graham (right), of Channel 4's Diverse Reports, argues that the BBC's position is both a misunderstanding of economic reality and a brake upon the development of consumer choice and diversity in the market. The Government's 'protection of the well-heeled' imposes 'middle-class tastes on ordinary men and women'. |
