This model comprises two equally important strands: public sector broadcasting, which, as a general rule, primarily provides public-interest services - balanced information, democratic debate, documentaries, entertainment, high-quality drama; and the private sector, which consists of commercial, profit-oriented channels.
Šo modeli, kā zināms, raksturo divi vienādi svarīgi poli: publiskais pols, kas vispirms nodrošina publisko pakalpojumu mērķus – līdzsvarotu informāciju, demokrātiskas debates, dokumentālas filmas, izklaidi, kvalitatīvas mākslas filmas — un privātais pols, kurā apvienoti komerciālie kanāli, kas meklē peļņu.
