To my point of view, the way to look at matters if there are to be significant cuts are:
1 - what is public service broadcasting?; and
2 - what doesn't the market provide that is felt important?
News, certain children's programmes, and a range of popular programmes could be thought of my me as near the top of 1
News, and certain children's programmes again tick the second box.
Spending money on listed sporting events, when they would otherwise be covered by ITV / C4 / Five wouldn't.
