Policy exchange publishes report on BBC / PSB

The right-leaning think tank Policy Exchange has published a report on the future of PSB / the BBC, gaining much media-coverage (1,2,3,4). The essential theme is that the BBC should pull back from areas of its current range of content delivery so as to leave space for commercial providers. Wider recommendations include the privatisation of Channel 4, the sharing of the licence fee, the dissolution of the BBC Trust to be replaced by a generic PSB regulator, and the lifting of mandatory PSB obligations from other PSB providers (ITV, and Ch 5).
