Unsourced material may be challenged and removed (May 2010) In the United Kingdom the term " public service broadcasting " (PSB) refers to broadcasting intended for the public benefit rather than for purely commercial concerns. The communications regulator Ofcom , requires that certain television and radio broadcasters fulfil certain requirements as part of their licence to broadcast. All of the BBC 's television and radio stations have a public service remit, including those that broadcast digitally . Additionally, all stations broadcast on terrestrial analogue television - the ITV Network Channel 4 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, in Wales, and Five - are obliged to provide public service programming as they can be viewed freely almost anywhere nationwide. The recently introduced 'third tier' of approaching 200 Community Radio services are also specifically recognised by Ofcom as being providers of public service broadcasting output, delivered under the terms of the Community Radio Order 2004. Commercial radio also has nominal public service obligations. However, the requirements imposed for commercial radio are generally fewer, normally requiring only a minimum level of news.

Extractions: Public broadcasting (also known as public service broadcasting or PSB ) is the dominant form of broadcasting around the world, where radio television , and potentially other electronic media outlets receive funding from the public . These funds can come directly from individuals through donations or fees , or indirectly as state subsidies that originated in taxes or other national funding sources. Some public broadcasters supplement this with contributions from corporations , which may be granted a limited amount of advertising time in return. However, when advertisements occur on public broadcasting outlets, they are usually much shorter and less attention-grabbing than on commercial broadcasting stations. Commercial broadcasting only occurs in a handful of large Western countries. Perhaps the best known public broadcaster is the British Broadcasting Corporation , based in the United Kingdom , whose mission is to "inform, educate and entertain".

Explanation essay Public Service Broadcasting The foundations of public service broadcasting placed prominent emphasis on public duty, on providing for all, on informing, educating and entertaining. Problems however arose concerning the need for accountability on the part of the broadcasters with their need for a high degree of autonomy in order to carry out their work without undue political or other constraints. As means of solving this issue, power was delegated to a broadcasting authority to run the service along the lines decreed by parliament. The aim was that it would ensure the broadcasting institution was ultimately accountable to parliament yet at the same time free from direct governmental control. This body of regulation was later succeeded by the Independent Television Commission in 1991.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Public service broadcasting (often abbreviated to PSB) is the style of broadcasting established by Lord Reith , the first Director General of the BBC . Its mission is to " inform, educate and entertain A public service broadcaster is not broadcasting for commercial ends but rather aims at social betterment. For this reason, PSB is often incompatible with commercial stations. For the same reason, it is often seen as being overly paternalistic in nature. Perhaps the most famous example of a "public service broadcaster" (in theory if not in practice) is the BBC. There is no standard definition of what PSB is exactly, although a number of official bodies have attempted to pick out the key characteristics. The Broadcasting Research Unit lists the following: Geographic universality - that the stations' broadcasts are available nationwide, with no exception (a criterion failed by the UK's Channel 5 Catering for all interests and tastes - as exemplified by the BBC's range of minority channels ( BBC Radio 3 , and various digital services), but also by the commercial Channel 4 Catering for minorities - much as above, but with racial and sexual minorites etc. (eg. Channel 4, BBC Asian Network).

Public broadcasters may receive their funding from individuals through voluntary donations, a specific charge such as a television license fee, or as direct funding by the state The extent to which public broadcasters can be considered "non-commercial" varies from country to country. In the United States most public radio and television stations are licensed as non-commercial broadcasters, yet many stations transmit underwriting spots (resembling advertisements on commercial broadcasting but with some content limitations) in exchange for corporate contributions. In some other countries public broadcasters are permitted to transmit commercials. Public broadcasting may be nationally or locally operated, depending on the country and the station. In some countries, public broadcasting is run by a single organization (such as the

PSB: Annual Reports Annual Report 2010 Ofcom has a duty to assess the designated public service broadcasters, taken together, in terms of their delivery of the public service purposes as set out in the 2003 Communications Act. Ofcom's Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) Annual Report provides an evidence base for assessing the delivery of PSB. Spending on PSB network programming across the main five PSB channels and the BBC digital channels continued to fall by almost 7% from 2008 to 2009. Spend on first-run originated programmes declined at around the same rate over this time. Since 2005 spend on first-run originations has fallen by 16%, or an average of 4% a year. Spend on Nations and regions programming showed one of the greatest declines, falling by 32% in this time. Against the context of an increase in TV viewing, share of viewing of the main five PSB channels in multichannel homes declined from 58% in 2005 to 55% in 2009, while the combined share of the PSB portfolio channels continued to rise. In 2009 the overall share of the main five PSB channels and portfolio channels in multichannel homes did not see an increase year-on-year for the first time in three years.

It will be discussed on Friday in the last of a series of debates on how the BBC might be run and regulated in the future.

Extractions: PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING Pubic Television: A Program for Action, in which the term "public television" first appeared. By the early 1990s, the groundswell of political and public dissatisfaction with the privileged position of public service broadcasting entities had reached major proportion. Studies were revealing bureaucratic bungling, cost overruns, and the misuse of funds. One commission after another was recommending at least the partial dismantling or reorganization of existing institutions. New measures of accountability demanded more than idealistic rhetoric, and telecommunication policy makers were turning a deaf ear to public service broadcasting advocates. -Robert K.

Irish Public Service Broadcasting - 1940s De Valera And Broadcasting RTE is the Irish National Public Service Broadcasting Organization. The radio service was inaugurated in 1926 and the television service in 1961. The RT archive collections http://www.rte.ie/laweb/brc/brc_1940s_a.html
Extractions: De Valera and Broadcasting Eamon de Valera was one of the first Irish politicians to recognise the potential of both sound recording technology and the broadcasting medium. He recorded his first political speech on disc as early as March 1920 and within days of first taking office in 1932 he was broadcasting on Radio Éireann (on the theme of a united Ireland). Indeed, it is his 1943 St Patrick's Day address on Radio Éireann, in which he referred to a land "bright with cosy homesteads...and the laughter of happy maidens," that is used most often to define his vision for the nation, rather than any words he authored in print. His finest on-air moment was undoubtedly his reply to Winston Churchill on 16 May 1945, after Churchill made critical references to Ireland's neutrality in his VE Day broadcast speech. It is said that even de Valera's opponents spoke of their pride in his words. Eamon de Valera responds to Winston Churchill : 16 May 1945 On 13 May 1945, towards the end of the Second World War, Winston Churchill in his Victory in Europe speech, broadcast to the world, was critical of Taoiseach Eamon de Valera and Ireland's policy of neutrality throughout the war.

Extractions: We are a broad mix of civil society groups, charities, community groups, unions and arts organisations who believe public service broadcasting is a public good. We believe it is vital to ensure the continued provision of a range of UK-originated programming of high quality, aimed at different age groups, which reflects cultural diversity and Britain’s place in the wider world – but also reflects the UK’s rich cultural heritage of language, literature values and environment. We are concerned that plurality in public service broadcasting should be maintained in the digital age. However, we do not believe that this can be achieved through “top-slicing” the BBC Licence Fee, or by allowing the public service content produced by broadcasters such as Channel 4 to decline any further. British broadcasting is a cultural as well as an economic asset to the UK, and we believe the government must take decisive steps to ensure that we have a regulatory environment that allows this sector to prosper at the local, regional, national and international levels. High quality content and production should lie at the heart of any further broadcasting strategy and legislation derived from Digital Britain Bookmark this!

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 http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/ta04/EREC1641.htm
Extractions: 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.

Take a popular programme like Neighbours . From 1986 to 2008 it appeared on the BBC and was an important piece of PSB , popular with viewers, and valued for its airing of gritty but universal human themes played out in an Antipodean setting. Alas, in February of last year it moved to Five , and became a piece of commercial, schedule-filling tat that appealed to the lowest common denominator. Hang on prof! I thought Five still wanted to be considered a public service broadcaster? Well, yes. But whereas everything the BBC does is public service — only little bits of what Five does actually qualify. Like the news. So why is Five laying off staff at its news service? Ironically, it’s to demonstrate that public service commitment. And with respect, minor staffing isues like that are inconsequential in the broad policy picture. You’re missing one of the key suggestions from Ofcom’s review. Everything Channel 4 does now qualifies as public service and there’s a possibility that Five could merge with it. Five is just demonstrating that public service costs. Under a merger Five could just take
