Abstract
The structure and performance of the independent television production sector in the UK has been strongly affected by public policy interventions. Such interventions have introduced more competition and have generally sought to strengthen the position of "indies" by, for example, raising levels of demand for their output amongst domestic vertically integrated broadcasters. However, the efficacy of such policies in terms of developing a thriving and economically successful independent television production sector is open to question. This article provides an analysis of the effects of recent policy initiatives on the creative work environment and on the business circumstances and behaviors of UK independent program-makers.
