  • Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation

    Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation

    Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation. Lecture by Irwin Stelzer* The Beesley Lectures sponsored by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the Regulatory Policy Institute Institute of Directors, London, 23 September 2010. * Director of Economic Policy Studies, the Hudson Institute; columnist for The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal. I have in the past or am currently a consultant to several firms with interests in these issues. They include Google, News Corporation, News International, and Sky TV. 1 I approach this assignment with considerable trepidation. For one thing, I have been a consultant in years gone by both to News International and Sky, which might colour my views on some of these issues. I leave it to the audience to decide whether that is the case. For another, I did not anticipate that this lecture would occur on the heels of a rather acrimonious exchange of MacTaggart lectures between James Murdoch, who ran Sky before moving on to a larger stage, and Mark Thompson, the extraordinarily articulate and durable -- he has two MacTaggarts under his belt, a feat it took two generations of Murdochs to match -- advocate for the interests of BBC.1 Finally, I have been in and about Britain for enough years to know that there are two things an American should not do: attack the NHS, and criticise the BBC. Dare to do the former, and risk hearing tales of Americans bleeding to death on hospital steps for lack of a credit card or ready cash. Criticise the BBC, and prepare to be regaled with tales of the disgusting state of American television: one distinguished columnist swears that when he checked into an American hotel all he was able to find on television was pornography -- which should come as a shock to BBC advocates, since BBC is a leading importer of American programming.
