European TV Chiefs Tell UK Government To Stop 'Meddling' With BBC
- The Guardian, Monday, September 21, 2015 7:04 AM
The BBC is regarded as the “mother of all public service broadcasting” and should be protected from political meddling, a group of European media bosses has warned. In a letter to the Guardian, the heads of seven Nordic public service broadcasters urged the UK to protect the BBC’s independence, saying that a diminished BBC would risk reducing Britain’s standing in the world. They also noted that many foreign broadcasters -- including their own -- had used it as a template.
