Abstract
In its early days the Authority had inclined to the view that there should be an education channel separate from ITV and the BBC and separately controlled. But when this was not forthcoming it soon came to interpret the Act’s requirement of a ‘public service for disseminating information, education and entertainment’ as an obligation to provide not only an educational strand within the general output but also formal school and adult education programmes.1 The companies were thereupon enjoined to allocate resources for this purpose.
