The article explores the existential crisis facing British broadcasting company British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) as of April 2016. BBC is reportedly plagued by budget cuts, lack of quality television programs, and collapse of independent drama production. Also examined are the history of the resources of public service broadcasting, the BBC's pro-business, free-market ideology, coverage of the 2008 banking crisis, and dismissal of employees due to a budget gap in license fee income.
