本文认为,第四频道电视(频道4)作为一个历史的对象,结合两个“脸”或逻辑。第一张面孔是由英国广播公司的约翰·里斯开创的广播“公共服务”传统。第二种是“私人服务”或“文化企业家”的传统,体现了更多的企业和商业精神。有人认为,第四频道在其第一任首席执行官杰里米·艾萨克斯的领导下是这两张面孔的独特“混合体”,这两张面孔都可以追溯到使第四频道发生的延长的“六十年代一代”。在Issacs的领导下,第四频道是一个这两个方面大致平衡的环境,提供了一个相互加强的“公共利益”生态系统,其结果重振了电视和当时更广泛的媒体文化。该文件表明,这种平衡本质上是不稳定的,第四频道的历史已经看到了日益增长的主导地位的私人服务面临的公共服务传统和相应的边缘化。最后,对这种转变及其长期影响提出了一些原因。
This article considers Channel Four Television (Channel 4) as a historical object that combines two ‘faces’ or logics. The first face is the ‘public service’ tradition of broadcasting inaugurated by John Reith at the BBC. The second is the ‘private services’ or ‘cultural entrepreneur’ tradition, which embodies a more corporate and commercial ethos. It is suggested that Channel 4 under its first Chief Executive Jeremy Isaacs was a distinctive ‘blend’ of these two faces, both of which can be traced to the extended ‘Sixties generation’ that made Channel 4 happen. Under Issacs, Channel 4 was a setting in which these two faces were in broad balance, providing a mutually reinforcing ecology of ‘public interest’ entrepreneurialism, and the result reinvigorated both television and the wider media culture of the day. The paper suggests that this balance was inherently unstable, and that the history of Channel 4 has seen the growing dominance of the private services face and a corresponding marginalisation of the public service tradition. In conclusion, some reasons are posed for this shift and its impact over the long term.
