Those who argue for PTV say that it is precisely because of vicious market forces, combined with manipulation by politicians and conglomerates, that TV content is now so vulgar. It would be inappropriate to turn state-owned TV stations, which by rights belong to all the people, to private corporations.
至於「公共化」的論述則認為，目前媒體內容低俗，皆因市場惡質競爭、政商集團兼併瓜分所致，豈能將屬於全民共有的無線頻道交由財團經營？
