What are the factors that have enabled radio and/or television broadcasting to succeed in recent years?

Conclusion
The key factors that have enabled broadcasting to be successful in recent years are the implementation of the 1990 Broadcasting Act, as it allowed broadcasters more freedom over content and increased competition in the UK market; new technologies which, being utilized by broadcasters positively, have allowed them to meet changing audience needs and desires and to address the issues of diverse and fragmented audiences caused by a fractured society; and more than anything, the ways in which both PSBs and commercial broadcasters have changed and adapted in all areas to address the constantly changing ideologies of British society. It is this issue of adaptability or lack thereof that will, I believe, ensure the success or downfall of the British broadcasting industry in the future.
