PSB revision

Public Service Broadcaster

 Orangisations within the media industries produce content with the aim of making money form our consumption-ITV, Channel 4.

 Exceptions to this would be public service broadcasters like the BBC.

 A PSB television or radio broadcasting that has to meet requirements steely Ofcom, the regulator for TV and radio.

PSB aims:

  1. Have distinctive, high quality programmes.
  2. Reflect the diversity of Britain.
  3. Inform the public.
  4. Make original programmes rather than just importing cheaper American programmes.
Don't confuse with:

BBC remit- To enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain. 'To reflect the UK, it's culture and values to the world'.

Mainstream television channels show many different types of entertainment such as: news, reality, game shows, light entertainment and different genres of tv programs. On Saturday night at 7:05, Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC 1; and on ITV at 7:05, The X Factor is on.
