Started relying on imported content, tried to make dramas to compete with the extant broadcasters, but it failed. Popular shows in the 90s: The Simpsons (still on, but with excessive ad breaks), Dragon Ball + sequels, The X-Files, Seinfeld. Then in the late 90s it started to make dramas, good dramas at first. Then they hit the top with Sugar, but the worst was yet to come very quickly when Big Brother premiered. Since then, the ad revenue grew with the arrival of Big Brother and the ad breaks grew in length. The news department has been sensationalist since the late 90s but has quickly become overly-sensationalist after they focused more on crimes and an incident regarding a Big Brother contestant.
