Colin Browne Guides You Through the BBC Charter Consultation
About this episode
Colin Browne discusses the implications of the BBC Charter review for public service broadcasting in the UK.
Colin Browne, Chair of the Voice of the Listener and Viewer (VLV), discusses what the BBC Charter review means for the future of public service broadcasting in the UK, and why it’s vital that ordinary licence fee payers respond to the government’s consultation by midnight on Tuesday 12 March. Step by step, we explore where VLV supports or challenges the BBC’s own proposals on independence, funding, public accountability and participation in BBC decision making. We also look at how well the BBC is serving “at-risk” public service genres such as religion, the arts and children’s content—especially now that Ofcom’s monitoring role has been diluted.
