Small beer or big deal - should we still care about PSB?

We will look at the main recommendations from Ofcom and the Select Committee, including the proposal to recast PSB as “public service media” that is delivered online as well as on TV. We will explore the role of PSB in a world of Netflix, YouTube and social media; and examine how public service media can remain relevant to young and diverse audiences. And we will ask “what does good look like” for PSB in the future?
