Abstract
The directorate and management of all businesses have responsibilities towards shareholders, employees, customers and society at large. In meeting the needs of customers and fulfilling obligations towards society, they provide a public service. In the case of the Independent Television companies the public service element was reinforced by contracts with the Independent Television Authority, later the Independent Broadcasting Authority, a statutory body charged by parliament to regulate the system in the public interest.
