Could BBC’s radios 1 and 2 be sold off? According to a report from the European Media Forum growth in the commercial sectors has been severally stunted by unfair competition from the two BBC music channels.
According to the report’s author, economist Keith Boyfield ” Our argument is that whereas you can put forward a pretty compelling case for a public sector role for Radios 4 and 3 - and also Radio 5, it gets a bit thin when you look at Radios 1 and 2 - and they could survive quite easily in the private sector,” The report also argued a sell of the two radio stations could also bring in £1/2bn to the Beeb.
