   I think the weakest part of OFCOM’s research is the work on Childrens TV.

   You may be interested in this quote from the BBC submission (page 48)

   “Ofcom reports that, in its deliberative research, a majority expressed a willingness to pay more to sustain plurality. However, it is clear from the research annex that this was a slim majority: we would suggest that a more convincing level of support might be necessary to justify further intervention by way of additional public funding.

   The BBC’s quantitative research (see later) supports the view that audiences are reluctant to pay more for plurality and shows that audience views about plurality and its potential benefits are in fact more complex than might be supposed.”
