It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 yearsyet the BBC s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain。

　　The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBCincluding ordinary listeners and viewersto say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBCs royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes。

　　Defenders of the Corporationof whom there are manyare fond of quoting the American slogan If it aint broken, don t fix it。 The BBC aint broke， they say, by which they mean it is not broken ， so why bother to change it?

　　Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channelsTV and Channel 4were required by the Thatcher Governments Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channelsfunded partly by advertising and partly by viewers subscriptionswhich will bring about the biggest changes in the long term。

　　In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?
