B
The planned “migration” of BBC3 from broadcast to the Internet in the autumn of 2015 means the “Youth” section of the BBC’s audience with the least political power and the fewest public voices will become an afterthought (事后想起的事) .
I don't watch BBC3. Equally,I question its credentials(資格) as the home of yoythfiil innovation when I note a lot of Doctor Who md Top Gear reruns on an evening-only channel. But BBC3 isn’ t aimed at me. For me,and for the rest of the white,middle-aged licence-fee payers who have arguments over the company's output,there are plenty of alternatives(替代品) .
Some would say the company's rapid expansion at the start of the century now looks like overconfidence. The attempt to provide an excellent service to all ages and all interests in a multi-channel world might have been considered as a modem version of the old BBC mission to educate,inform and entertain; but it appears to have been misjudged.
You could ask how the hard financial choices are made and why. BBC3 has 13 million viewers a week. In August last year, Radio 4 hit a “record-breaking” weekly score of 10. 97 million.
Which group is better placed to influence those who run the BBC? To whom would politicians listen?
The answer is obvious. If yOU believe that the Today programme is a bit more important to society than Snog Marry Avoid?, you' 11 probably think the obvious answer is the right answer. But the BBC3 viewer base consists of about a million of the young unemployed — less likely to be white and middle class than the Radio 4 fan base; more likely to be excluded from the political process. They are no match for the grey power of pensioners.
To my taste,most of the things on BBC3 are rubbish. But I'm delighted to see that the BBC will go on trying to cater to (迎合) my interests and tastes for a long time to come,just as it will go on serving up EastEnders and witless talent shows to those numerous enough not to be seen as a minority.
For whom does the BBC exist? The minority — young Britain — just got pushed to the back of the queue.
