The BBC is a government agency, supported by the mandatory television tax. You tell me how any new network is supposed to compete against that. Come on, a private enterprise network should be able to crush a government agency. Tell me how the BBC is supposed to survive in open competition with other network providers. I don't know the regulatory structure of the UK broadcast system, but just because the BBC is a state sponsored agency doesn't explain one bit why there doesn't appear to be a British version of Fox providing the news that you claim BBC ignores. It sounds like you should be advocating removing whatever barriers exist in the UK to new news networks. We've got a couple of them in the USA, why isn't there a "right wing news network" in the UK?
