Accountability is changing! |
There will be big changes to the BBC's accountability under the new Royal Charter starting from January 2007. The local and regional advisory councils and the English National Forum will disappear, to be replaced by larger Regional Audience Councils reporting to the Audience Council England. The councils will have a wider remit. They will advise the new BBC Trust (which replaces the Board of Governors) on all national, regional and local services and on BBC policy. |
