I am hearing loud and clear that unless funding is ring-fenced, the broadcasters are in trouble. It is as simple as that. That is what I am hearing. Additionality is the elephant in the room that has to be taken on and dealt with head-on. Hopefully we can do it without going down the whole legal route. We have to try to protect. We do not want to lose more titles or more radio stations so they have to be protected. The only way we can do that is by ring-fencing funding. I stand corrected on that but that is what I am hearing loud and clear here today.
