More than once when discussing the decline in the broadcasting of music by the U.S. networks, it has been pointed that even at its highest point it hadn't approximated what British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) has done. That is, the U.S. networks, exploiting names that had prestige for the mass public, had presented the great orchestras and the Metropolitan Opera and had seen music almost exclusively as the standard orchestral and operatic repertory, whereas BBC had systematically explored the entire musical literature, the literature not only of opera and the orchestra but of solo instruments, the voice and chamber groups, the unfamiliar music of the past, the new music of today.
