The countdown to the end of British public service broadcasting has begun. In 2012 analogue is switched off as the digital competition threatens to shatter the status quo. Is this a cultural disaster in the making or an opportunity to create a more open and creative broadcast media?

POLIS is putting the man at the centre of this revolution under the spotlight. We invite you to join in the conversation with Ed Richards, the Chief Executive of Ofcom, as we ask him: what is the future of public service broadcasting in the UK?

Ed Richards is head of Ofcom. Damian Tambini is a lecturer in the Media Department at LSE and associate fellow at the IPPR.
