Quote:
In his speech Mr Bradshaw will say that a culture department survey suggests 65% of those people questioned supported the idea of funding regional ITV news.

But the shadow culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said other research suggested that if there was spare money at the BBC, the public wanted it back.


Depends how the question was phrased, doesn't it...

65% of people I've discussed it with certainly didn't.
The answer was nearly always the same:
* I'm not paying to watch adverts.
* If local news isn't commercially viable, why not just have it on the BBC and let ITV show profitable programmes.

More to the point, local news is rubbish. 99% of the time, there simply isn't enough worthwhile news from the local area to fill 30 minutes, so you get low grade lack of human interest stories.

The actual article sounds like the beginning of the end for the BBC.
