An audience with the Sky queen

Article Abstract:

It is very important for television broadcasters to establish a close relationship with their audience, according to British Sky Broadcasting General Manager Elisabeth Murdoch. Care must be taken to have both high-profile programmes and a context within which these can be placed. She has doubled the original programming spend on Sky 1 in 1998, and now plans to focus on longer runs of fewer shows. She feels that Sky has more in common with the BBC than with any other broadcaster in the UK.
