Sorry to ask a stoopid question, but--are there private television and radio stations in the U.K.? --AnonymousCoward

Yes, there are both national and local commercial radio stations, offering a wide variety of news and music genres. The number of national commercial stations is likely to get a lot higher with [Digital Audio Broadcasting]? being phased in.

With television, the market is even more fragmented. There are 3 commercial 'analogue' channels, ITV?, Channel 4 and [Channel 5]?, while on digital services (eg Digital Terrestrial or Digital Satellite), the range is much greater. We have hundreds of (mostly low quality) commercial television services on digital satellite within the UK, mostly showing re-runs of 1970s sitcoms?! --Dweir
