KING ST. E. Cc 3° British TV Wednesday, August 9,1967 7 THE OSHAWA TIMES, BBC VISITED Rated Best LONDON (AP)--"You know, of course," said the London- based U.S. executive with a note of finality, 'that the Brit- ish have the best television in the world." I have heard similar state- ments from other persons, American and British. It seemed worth while to in- vestigate why British television is so good, and so I journeyed to the BBC's broadcast centre to inquire about its program- ming methods. There are two sources of TV in Britain; Inde- pendent Television--ITV--a pri- vately owned enterprise which sells advertising and the BBC, which is government-operated and carries no ads. The BBC is housed in a huge building shaped like a stack of doughnuts. From this broadcast centre emanate two television networks, radio programs for Britain and broadcasts to vast areas overseas, BBC I is the basic network; it reaches 98 per cent of the coun- try. BBC II is slightly more se- rious in content; its coverage is 70 per cent. Always there is a contrast in programming. If BBC I has a serious program, BBC II features an entertain- ment show. "No other country in the world has two complementary networks."' SCORNS COMPETITION Hugh Weldon, controller of programs, resembles the actor, Trevor Howard, both in appear- ance and gusty vigor. He has scorn for his competition. "The recent audience surveys figure 48 per cent for BBC and 52 per cent for ITV," he cited. "That's not a bad percentage for us, considering the number of our shows that are not aimed at mass audiences and the amount of top movies and trash that they have." It pleased Weldon recently to present a lavish production of Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd. "Obviously it was destined for a tiny audience," he said. "But I felt it should be done. Some things work so well that nothing can take their place.
