This is particularly important when a range of new channels are entering the market. The public service television broadcasters are: The BBC, a public corporation, funded mainly by the television licence fee Channel 4, a public corporation self-funded by advertising revenues S4C, a public corporation broadcasting for the fourth channel in Wales and funded by grant-in-aid from the Government and advertising revenue and Channel 3 (ITV), Channel 5 (Five), and Teletext, commercial television companies, funded by advertising revenues The Government sets the licence fee and grants which support the BBC and S4C respectively. Within the framework provided by the Charter and Agreement, the BBC Governors are responsible for ensuring that the BBC meets all its statutory and other obligations. However the Secretary of State has certain powers, for example the power to approve and review the operation of new licence-fee funded public services. The

27. Public Service Broadcasting public service broadcasting, a vital element of democracy in Europe, In other countries laws on public service broadcasting have been adopted, http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/ta04/EREC1641.htm

Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire Recommendation 1641 (2004) Public service broadcasting 1. Public service broadcasting, a vital element of democracy in Europe, is under threat. It is challenged by political and economic interests, by increasing competition from commercial media, by media concentrations and by financial difficulties. It is also faced with the challenge of adapting to globalisation and the new technologies. 2. Public service broadcasting, whether run by public organisations or privately-owned companies, differs from broadcasting for purely commercial or political reasons because of its specific remit, which is essentially to operate independently of those holding economic and political power. It provides the whole of society with information, culture, education and entertainment; it enhances social, political and cultural citizenship and promotes social cohesion. To that end, it is typically universal in terms of content and access; it guarantees editorial independence and impartiality; it provides a benchmark of quality; it offers a variety of programmes and services catering for the needs of all groups in society and it is publicly accountable. These principles apply, whatever changes may have to be introduced to meet the requirements of the twenty-first century. 3. It is a matter of concern that many European countries have so far failed to meet the commitment that their governments undertook, at the 4th European Ministerial Conference on Mass Media Policy held in Prague in 1994, to maintain and develop a strong public broadcasting system. It is also worrying that the fundamental principle of the independence of public service broadcasting contained in Recommendation No. R (96) 10 of the Committee of Ministers is still not firmly established in a number of member states. Moreover, governments across the continent are in the process of reorienting their media policies in the light of the development of digital technology and are in danger of leaving public service broadcasting without enough support.

Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire P ublic service broadcasting Recommendation 1641 (2004) Doc. 10301 4 October 2004 Reply from the Committee of Ministers adopted at the 898 th The Committee of Ministers welcomes Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation 1641 (2004) on public service broadcasting and the support it gives to the development of strong and independent public service broadcasting in all Council of Europe member states. The Recommendation has been brought to the attention of the governments of the member states. The Committee of Ministers has received an opinion on the Recommendation from the Steering Committee on Mass Media (CDMM). 2. The Committee of Ministers fully agrees with the Parliamentary Assembly that public service broadcasting must remain a strong and vibrant element of the broadcasting landscape, as it constitutes a vital element of democracy in Europe and fulfils a specific mission in the areas of information, culture, education and entertainment. It must at the same time be allowed to adapt to the requirements of the Information Society. From this perspective, the commitments undertaken by the governments of the member states in the Resolution on the future of public service broadcasting, adopted at the 4th European Ministerial Conference on Mass Media Policy (Prague, December 1994), and in Recommendation No. R (96) 10 of the Committee of Ministers on the guarantee of the independence of public service broadcasting, are more relevant than ever.

RULES APPLICABLE TO STATE AID State aid for public service broadcasting 1) OBJECTIVE To lay down the criteria for applying the competition rules to public service broadcasting. 2) ACT Commission communication on the application of state aid rules to public service broadcasting (Text with EEA relevance) [Official Journal C 320 of 15.11.2001]. 3) SUMMARY Background Since its inception, television broadcasting has been provided mostly by public undertakings under a monopoly regime, mainly as a consequence of the limited availability of broadcasting frequencies and the high barriers to entry. In the 1970s, however, economic and technological developments made it increasingly possible for Member States to allow other operators to broadcast. Whilst opening the market to competition, Member States considered that public service broadcasting ought to be maintained as a way to ensure the coverage of a number of areas and the satisfaction of needs that private operators would not necessarily fulfil to the optimal extent. This increased competition, together with the presence of state-funded operators, has led to growing concerns about a level playing field, which had been brought to the Commission's attention by private operators. The vast majority of the complaints allege infringements of

35. Local Broadcasting – A Public Service Approach Some local public broadcasting services are better delivered by independent Local public service broadcasting is relatively underdeveloped in the UK http://allindiaradio.org/localbroadcasting.html

Local broadcasting – a public service approach Adapted from the Community Media Association of U.K. By Rajat Bhargava DDG( F) AIR In this paper the views of the Community Media Association are outlined on the development of UK policy for the regulation of local broadcasting especially radio and television. The proposals outlined are based on their analysis of the experience of the development of local and restricted service radio services since the 1990 Broadcasting Act, the emergence of new television restricted service licences following the 1996 Broadcasting Act, and the current level of development of local programme services and local sound programme services on cable. How far are these points relevant to us and how best can we utilize them for our advantage is for us to determine Local public service broadcasting At the heart of our position is the view that local broadcasting requires a fresh regulatory approach capable of genuinely delivering a range and diversity of local services responding to and involving local communities. We believe this approach should adopt the core principles of public service broadcasting – to educate, inform and entertain – with the addition of a fourth principle “to encourage participation”. The framework for the regulation of local broadcasting should recognize that the BBC, in its current form, does not have a monopoly on public provision. Some local public broadcasting services are better delivered by independent broadcasters using a variety of forms of both public and private financing.

Public Service Broadcasting - Best Practices 07.05.05 - 08.05.05, Regional, Hotel Nikko, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) A worldwide review of PSB monitoring and evaluation instruments. An assessment of the ISAS BC 9001 management quality standard for broadcasters, its benefits and the path to its implementation. All around the globe, whether in the traditionally liberal North or in transition countries from East and South, lack of media independence, competence and/or credibility deprives men and women from the basic right to have, in their own language and culture, a faithful representation of the world they live in, be it at the local, national or global level. This leads to grave consequences for social development and democratic governance. Of particular concern is the situation of radio and television, the essential source of information, education and entertainment of the majority of people. Commercial, public service and in many countries community broadcasting are essential to a balanced, pluralistic broadcasting landscape. Commercial broadcasting can offer more independent news reporting and a healthy competition to the former state monopolies.

The study is a monitor of market context, structural trends and scheduling. It provides the first comprehensive study of the state of public sector broadcasting in four of Europe's key markets - UK, Germany, France, and Spain. The report looks at two new indicators of competitiveness, developed by IsICult - one measures the broadcasters' advertising revenue per percentage audience share point and the other compares revenues from licence fees and all other sources per percentage audience share point. These indicators enable comparisons to be made between the competitiveness and cost effectiveness of different broadcasters. Detailed analysis and comparisons between the four countries covered are provided for the following metrics: Viewing time Licence Fee Advertising income Top programmes Organisational structures Attitudes to new technology Strengths and weaknesses Audience shares Transmission schedules and strategies Programme Genres Generalist and thematic channels Employees Regulatory framework
