Public service broadcasting refers to the production and transmission of
socially beneficial radio and television programs which otherwise would not be
broadcast due to the commercialization of the media,” added Dr. Sandeep Marwah.
Public service broadcasting makes presentation
of issues that affect the everyday life or the people in a complex society and
attempts a deeper level of reflection and analysis.

Public Broadcasting Forum lends all possible support to the producers of radio
and television programs for public service broadcasting;
It
facilitates exchange of non-commercial radio and television programs and their
makers across the world; it conducts audience research for ascertaining the
taste and need of the people for non-commercial programs; and it organizes
debates, seminars, symposia and workshops on issues relating to public service
broadcasting.
