Abstract
Seen from a historical perspective, no big European ‘master plan’ against public service broadcasting (PSB) existed. Initially, the Commission reluctantly reacted to private sector complaints. Only from 2003 onwards did a more proactive approach develop. The Commission’s approach is shaped by specific cases and decisions. In spite of several analyses of the Commission’s policies (e.g. Humphreys, 2003; Ward, 2003, 2004a, 2008; Antoniadis, 2006; Brevini, 2010), an in-depth analysis of decision practice is largely lacking.
