Is Ofcom killing off Welsh TV?
Someone at ‘Save Welsh TV’ dropped me an e-mail to say…
“I’m intrigued that Ofcom’s proposal to drain the lifeblood out of non-news programming in the ITV Nations and regions has raised so few comments, either on this site or in the English/Scotish or Northern Irish media.
Ofcom are also not making much effort to protect regional news, post-digital switchover. This could leave many communities with a monopoly supplier of such programming: the BBC.
This is starting to cause great concern in Wales. The BBC here have a long and distringuished track record of good programming. But even they highlight the risks of being the only source of broadcast news in a nation where 85% of newspaper readers buy London papers — and London news agendas.
Anybody heard of that word, devolution?
