I couldnt give a dogs dick about the BBC i hope it becomes a subscription only service and buggers off into obscurity to be watched by old dears and establishment luvvies everywhere instead of imposing itself on as many people as they can get away with regardless of if they want it or not.

No as they will deal with Complaints
not the Creative control.

The only thing that really concerns me is that the government get a seat on the board of directors, I think that's wrong

One for the old crusty BBC groupies to enjoy. haha the fact the BBC lost editorial impartiality years ago was obvious. The paedo lovers just dance to whoever plays the tune they need to hear.

The BBC may have bowed to political pressure to show bias against Labour and Jeremy Corbyn, a former chair of the BBC Trust has said.

Sir Michael Lyons, who chaired the trust from 2007 to 2011 and is a former Labour councillor, claimed that there had been “some quite extraordinary attacks on the elected leader of the Labour party”.

He told the BBC’s The World at One: “I can understand why people are worried about whether some of the most senior editorial voices in the BBC have lost their impartiality on this.

“All I’m voicing is the anxiety that has been expressed publicly by others … We had here a charter review process which has been littered with wild kites flown which, we can’t see the string is held by the secretary of state, but the suspicion is that actually it’s people very close to him.

“His own comments have suggested that he might be blessed by a future without the BBC. Is the BBC strong enough to withstand a challenge to its integrity and impartiality?”

Lyons said there were “very real suspicions that ministers want to get much closer to the BBC, and that is not in anybody’s interests”.

It comes after more than 35,000 people signed a petition calling for Laura Kuenssberg to be sacked as political editor of the BBC over accusations that she was biased against Corbyn. It was taken down by the organisers after some people used the petition to make sexist remarks about her.

Labour has complained about media bias against the party without singling out the BBC. Corbyn told grassroots supporters that it was necessary for Labour to use social media to communicate with the public, because rightwing media were censoring political debate in an unprecedented assault on the party.

Tony Hall, the BBC director general, also speaking to the The World at One, said Lyons’s claim was “extraordinary” and denied that there was any bias.

“That’s not the journalism I know or the journalists in this organisation I know,” he said. “I think the journalism of the BBC is impartial. We test all sides. The journalists in the BBC do a really hard job in the midst of controversy, bringing a light and calm judgments to what’s going on.”

The BBC gave no further comment.

Well they're not very good at that either then, with their selective reporting in favour of anti-left government policies.

They also absolutely slobber over the royals. You don't get much more right wing than the royals.

Saying that the bbc is bloated is invalid, you need to argue the cause with more depth..

The BBC is not going to change, Arista needs to change or he will end up in some Afgan fax machine repair shop.

Sky is the bloated devil..

But Arista you really need to learn about what Tom said, it will help you understand why we are right and why you are so wrong.

Thank you please.

In Arista's world we would have fk all to watch..

In Arista's world Sky TV would become bloated and greedy with many poor familes priced out from watching sky, and Sky would out bid any network for tv rights..

In Arista's world the machines will rise and hunt down the human race..

You post sh*t like "BBC must change" but you have nothing to back it up that would benefit the industry.

You have said all this before.
What is Important now
is they are going to get smaller
which is common sense.
Ch4 is good as well.
