Description

In his new book Losing Faith in the BBC Nigel Holmes uses the Corporation's own published reports, research documents and statistics to bring the argument up to date. Losing Faith in the BBC demonstrates clearly: The loss of airtime, both on BBC TV and Radio, for religious programmes; the replacement of high quality religious programmes with trivial 'fillers' and the pushing of the religious programmes to the margins of the schedules.
A large proportion of the population is seriously interested in religion and matters of faith (despite gloomy statistics about church atttendances, many more people attend church than go to watch football matches). The BBC is a national institution, whose own publicity boasts "You make it what it is." But is that claim true if the needs of a substantial sector of the population is being marginalized in the name of viewer and listener ratings? Nigel Holmes brings his years of experience to bear as he tackles this controversial question.
