Exploring the concept of 'platform power' in the evolving TV industry, this book examines how multiple distribution platforms compete for market control. Contributors extend existing 'platform theory' to analyze the TV sector's transition into a platform economy. It delves into the emergence of platform power, its impact on international relations, and its role in the global media value chain, providing insights into the changing dynamics of power structures within the industry.

By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, this book explores the evolution of public service media. It emphasizes a bottom-up approach to policy development, bridging legal frameworks with real-world practices. The work aims to inspire a re-evaluation of how public service media operates and its impact on society.
