Is the future bright for British broadcasting?

I believe yes because...
Export more than half the world's TV formats
British television shows now feature prodominatly in US television schedules

The business model presented by piracy actually represents the future
All the UK's major broadcasters have set up websites
Digital Britain

The UK's digital economy accounts for around 8% of GDP. It has been one of the fastest growing successes of the past decades

I believe no because...
The UK's advertising money has plummeted by £100m in the past eight years
The proliferation of video-sharing websites means that viewers around the world are increasingly using their computers to download and view entire programmes
The makers of them programmes do not recieve money and so it potentially threatens the basis on which programmes are funded
