Michael Grade, the chair of broadcasting regulator Ofcom, has said TV has become “exploitative and cruel”.
Speaking to Boom Radio for its new series Open The Box, Lord Grade laments the state of commissioning and appeared to express concern about reality TV.
Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries appointed him as Ofcom chair on 1 May 2022 for four years.
“In the old days, professional entertainers used to entertain the public,” The Observer reported Lord Grade as saying.
