The British Broadcasting Challenge company information, Employees & Contact Information

We know facts matter. We know accountability matters. We know identity matters. We believe that how these values are transmitted, matters. We are lucky in the UK. We have a public service broadcasting framework that is the envy of the world, comprising the publicly-owned BBC, Channel 4 and S4C, with agreed content commitments from ITV, Channel 5, Scottish Television and Ulster Television as well as obligations on all licensed broadcasters. This ecosystem works to ensure fairness and impartiality; through its uniquely British construction, it covers commitments to children’s content, arts and religion, original drama and entertainment, and guaranteed access for all to our biggest sports events. It ensures both the portrayal of our nations and regions to themselves and to each other, but also projects British values internationally. Our intellectual property framework has made the UK home to some of the world’s biggest production companies and high-end drama productions. Our PSB framework underpins a thriving UK creative industry sector, estimated to have contributed £118 billion in gross added value to UKPLC in 2018. Moreover, the PSBs’ spending commitments to the nations and regions of the UK boost local employment and economies. But in a fast-changing media landscape our unique ecosystem is under threat: from under-funding, from the proliferation of unregulated broadcasters online, from the exponential growth of social media platforms, from US-based streaming services shorn of any PSB obligations (including paying taxes), from changes driven by ideology over evidence and even from benign neglect. That is why we have created The British Broadcasting Challenge.
