Abstract

The article focuses on the observation that current affairs television has declined in Great Britain. According to the Joint Industry Committee for Television Advertising Research, the audiences of current affairs are declining, even though more people were watching the television an hour more in winter and three hours more per week in summer. One of the problems in current affairs television was the commitment to serious programming.
