Don't know about that. Here in Germany public state broadcasters have a board elected by parties, churches, unions and other large bodies aiming, on paper, for proportional representation. The results are insufferable, mediocre palliative-care TV shows, corrupt sports (I hear they have that in UK, too ;), and news shows, with the occasional outstanding documentation (public radio stations are better IMO).
Until recently, I regarded their news as ok-ish, but the hysterical focus on CoVid and their tendency to polarize and putting every critique against the party line into the realm of Corona deniers or some such in the last two years has pulled the curtain for me, to show a self-referential political-medial complex bringing up topics irrelevant for large parts of the populace.
