But that is different from the question if the BBC should be allowed to have various religions and world views their own programs. I'm all for equal representation, but unfortunately even with the BBC I don't see that. I'd love to see a good BBC documentary about Sikhism for instance, or Jainism, but I don't see that happen any time soon.
Do you think it would be possible to maintain the quality of the BBC whilst it also has to turn to commercial sources for its funding?
I don't see any precedence for that and believe that the reason it can and does produce the quality programming it does is due mostly to how it is funded. But yea, perhaps this is another topic?
