BBC to poll public on what they want from broadcaster
The BBC is running its “biggest ever public engagement exercise” as the corporation polls audiences to ask what they want from their public broadcaster at the moment and in the future.
From Thursday, the corporation will send out the Our BBC, Our future questionnaire ahead of the forthcoming review of the corporation’s royal charter which sets the BBC’s mission, public purposes and funding.
Fund it by voluntary subscription. Easy, no need for a poll, but…
Tim Davie, BBC director-general, said: “The BBC belongs to all of us and we all have a say in its future.
Which means there will be no future where the BBC hand has been removed from the public pocket. Voluntary subscription is not even on the table, not the real table where deals are done.
Poll away, it won’t make any difference, the core decision has almost certainly been made already.
