Funded Activity Summary

Worldwide: the history of the commercial arm of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). This project will result in a greater historical understanding of how state funded public service broadcasters develop and manage their commercial operations. The BBC's commercial arm was emulated by public service broadcasters across the world, not least by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation which was also a key client and partner. This history will enhance our understanding of public service broadcasting by examining the industrial and cultural innovations that are needed if the delivery of public content in Australia is to survive in a highly privatised digital environment.
