I thought that was the point of having a public service broadcaster that in theory isn't swayed by only ratings.
Those that don't watch the BBC a lot would be right to question why they get money for little service then.

They are swayed by ratings though. They aren't going to produce programmes no one watches or run on a series when the ratings are falling.

There are elements of being a public broadcaster that you can argue are for the good of the country. News (balance, unbiased...good luck on that one), education, etc. EastEnders? No so much.

So just how much of the programming is different to other channels?
