On the BBC – I think it’s a great model for how things can be done in the future. If the Tories kill it someone will just have to re-invent it.
I’d want more than one socialised content creation channel and I’d want more than one type of channel (that’s channel as in distribution channel not TV channel). Even with socialised or socialist services having more than one option is useful.
Wrong to think that no one makes a profit from it. Profit is a paper concept that is best left to accountants. The key thing is to watch where the money goes.
Handsome expense account, six figure salary, retire on a defined benefits pension, hired by a media firm as a director / consult on £10k a day. I’d call that profitable business.
I think the problem the Tories have with the BBC is that the wrong people are making the profit.
