Caroline Dinenage discusses the BBC's Royal Charter Review and related media governance issues.

Caroline Dinenage, Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, is chairing an inquiry into the BBC’s Royal Charter Review. We discuss the renewal timetable, possible reforms to BBC governance, alternative funding models and countering the global tech and streaming giants. We also discuss pressures on the new Director-General, cuts in BBC funding, impartiality and Ofcom’s handling of GB News and the Married at First Sight controversy.
