No. The BBC One service description is actually:

> a mixed-genre channel, with versions for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and variations for English regions and the Channel Islands, providing a very broad range of programmes to a mainstream audience;

As I said, the different channels are different services, which is partly the point. BBC Four's service description is, for example:

> a channel providing an intellectually and culturally enriching alternative to mainstream programming on other BBC channels;



My item was a direct quote from the BBC trust's description of the channel remit. Indeed it was the remit in full


Well I've gone one better than you by quoting the formal public service description that is part of the formal list of "UK Public Services" under the Agreement between the BBC and the U.K. Government. There are eight television services, not just BBC One as you had it, and they are different services on different channels.


So you deny the remit of BBC one is as stated and the BBC doesn't operate under that principle?


Is there a difference between being "most popular, wide range, mixed-genre" and being "mainstream audience, broad range, mixed-genre" ?


> offering a wide range of high quality programmes

How often do you watch a show on BBC One?
