Broadcasting review seeks public views Print E-mail
Thursday, 29 November 2007

The Scottish Broadcasting Commission has today asked people to come forward with their views on broadcasting. 

The Commission is looking at the factors that have an influence on the economic potential of broadcasting in Scotland and is seeking evidence of people's experiences, knowledge and views.

Speaking after Commission members met for their second formal meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Commission chair Blair Jenkins said:

"The Commission is working on the premise that a healthy broadcasting industry is beneficial to the Scottish economy. We know already that broadcasting in Scotland contributes to the employment of creative and technical people, the viability of services which support the industry and the communication of ideas and issues. 

"We want to look into how the sector's strengths and public resources can be harnessed to best grow the industry and how we can maximise the economic benefits which can flow from a strong broadcasting sector.

"This is a key consideration for us and is the focus of the start of our evidence gathering. We want to hear from everyone who has a say in this matter - from the Chief Executives of the major broadcasters to the grip on the latest period drama production, the indie producer making their latest pitch, the camera operator in the studio or the Corrie fan.

"We have designed our website, which went live today, with this purpose in mind so that people can put their views to us directly, whether they work in the industry or are members of the public. It details the three areas the Commission is focusing on - economic, cultural and democratic - and poses questions the Commission is keen to find answers to."

The programme of oral evidence-taking sessions with key broadcasters and interested parties has already begun, with Channel 4 the first to give evidence.
