More than Two Can Play
Radio in Britain is facing the prospect of fundamental change. The current financial climate for broadcasting, the prospect of technical developments and the Government's commitment to reduced regulation all point in the same direction - away from the BBC/IBA duopoly and towards a game with an indefinite number of players, from community radio to national commercial networks. How will this affect the choice for the listener - and will there still be room on the pitch for an undiminished tradition of public service broadcasting? David Wheeler assesses the prospects.
