The Peacock Committee-1986
The Peacock Committee, was a review into financing of the
BBC. It was initiated by the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher on March 27, 1985 and reporting on May 29, 1986. The committee was led by Professor Alan Peacock. The other 6 members were Samuel Brittan, Judith Chalmers, Jeremy Hardie, Professor Alastair Hetherington, Lord Quinton, and Sir Peter Reynolds [1]. Miss Kimberley Taylor was the key paper holder throughout proceedings a back seat member but later sacked and dismissed due to a national newspaper outing her as a non licence fee payer.[citation needed]The government had expected the committee to report that the television licence fee used to fund the BBC should be scrapped. However, the Peacock Committee favoured retaining the licence fee as they believed it was the 'least worst' option
The Broadcasting Act-1990
The Broadcasting Act 1990 is a law of the
British parliament, often regarded by both its supporters and its critics as a quintessential example of Thatcherism.The aim of the Act was to reform the entire structure of British broadcasting; British television, in particular, had earlier been described by Margaret Thatcher as "the last bastion of restrictive practices".
The Hutton Report- 2004
The publication in January 2004 of the Hutton Report into Dr Kelly's death was extremely critical of Andrew Gilligan, and of the Corporation's management processes and standards of journalism. In the aftermath, both the Chairman of the BBC
Gavyn Davies and the Director-General Greg Dyke resigned, followed by Gilligan himself. Lord Hutton was accused of failing to take account of the imperfections inherent in journalism, while giving the Government the benefit of the doubt over its own conduct. Large parts of the media branded it a whitewash

The future is bright for British television Broadcasting

Is The future Bright or Dull ?

Britain exports more than half the world's TV formats

British television formats is a almost always US television schedules

The UK's digital economy accounts for around 8% of GDP. It has been one of the fastest growing successes of the past decades.

Format purchasing is commonly use with broadcasters
It is alot cheaper to import something already popular than to risk the flop of a new creation.

The UK's advertising money has plummeted by £100m in the past eight years
Sites such as youtube and other video and file sharing wesites means That television broadcasting are looseing money and not recieving any royalties or funding from such webstie. Sites such as these allow audiences to watch when they want , However television companies have alsos jumped on this wagon and have uploading links to their websites to allow audience to watch there formats on their site when ever they want .
