Just gimme the facts.....

Public Service Broadcasting - what's that all about then? Well apparently, according to the Head of BBC Television News, it's about getting awards. It seems he is furious that the Corporation got only one prize at the recent Royal Television Society Awards, whereas ITN got seven, Channel 4 and ITV got five, and Sky News three. He has made it clear that this is not good enough. And there I was thinking that they were there just to give us the news, not go chasing gongs.
