International TV Co-Editor
Nicola Shindler in conversation with Martha Kearney
Three British television giants say there are too many production companies as the middle class disappears from the market.
Banijay UK boss Patrick Holland, It's a Sin chief executive Nicola Shindler and BBC iplayer/channels chief Dan McGolpin all agreed that the amount of work currently on air is unsustainable for the number of independent programmes when asked during a major panel discussion at the Edinburgh TV Festival this morning.
"You can't sugarcoat it," McGolpin said. "There's not enough money and hours to keep everybody alive."
