Dr. Roderick Flynn:

We usually look to anglophone countries. We look to the FCC and Ofcom. The responsibilities of those institutions are enormous, but I am pretty certain that neither Ofcom nor the FCC put any funding into content production, whether this is in the area of news and current affairs, drama, or whatever it might be. In the United States there is for the most part no state funding at all, but in the UK it is the responsibility of the UK Film Council or something else. It is not part of Ofcom’s remit.
