PSB 3.0: Reinventing European PSB

The history of European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) has so far encompassed two main periods: the time up until the 1980s, before it faced commercial competition (PSB 1.0) and the period of great upheavals and change since then (PSB 2.0). PSB also needed to find its bearings in a multi-channel broadcasting landscape, leading to ‘a significant level of commercialisation, where differences with commercial television are, in general, relatively small’ (León, 2007: 98). Now is the time for PSB 3.0 — the twenty-first-century version that we would probably invent if we were to create PSB today, necessarily very different from the one we have inherited.
