When an institution is not in keeping with the expected standards and you think the institution's still needed, find the root cause and fix it. Einstein believes that "everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
Sometimes I believe that's what we do to GRTS by invariably contrasting them with TV stations beyond borders with complex technology. Yeah, they suck and probably shame-filled already, but it's fixable, and I believe being sufficiently equipped, appropriately staffed, and empowered so that their minds are unfettered to direct their own affairs without interference will be a good start. There are very creative private media outlets ayard, most of them into event coverage and artistic production, and what they're doing with what they have is impressive - source from them.
I am not saying give GRTS a complete break, but the truth is, at some point in our nation's history, it was easier and safer for an institution to relapse and comfort the status quo than to carry through. Few did what was right, but not all men are as manly and that's natural. In fact, GRTS was probably just country-renowned for it, but certainly not the only institution that walked over us to slavishly ensure that power was afforded what it wanted regardless.
Look at public structures and national documents; one colour is conspicuous. Do you think it's a coincidence? Good, and that's the same reason why all public events bear resemblance in everything, and why the phrase "enabling environment" became clichéd... and some of these were never "directives" as is usually claimed. Most are hypothetically suggested by self-serving people within, knowing that none will defy.
