What we will do now
Right now we are going through what you have told us in detail.
We are looking at how best we can respond to your feedback on impartiality and the running of the BBC. We are working through your comments and the improvements you want for BBC programmes, content and services as we consider what we offer in future for audiences.
It’s clear that there is strong support for the BBC’s founding mission to inform, educate and entertain the whole country. Our core commitment to serving the UK public will not change.
But we are also working on new plans that will help us respond to your feedback and deliver more for audiences and the UK in a fast-changing world. We are exploring a number of questions to give you and your family more value in the future.
- How can we make the BBC more accountable to the public and more responsive to your wishes and needs?
- Where can we invest more across the UK and support economic growth and jobs by commissioning and making more programmes and content around the country?
- What more can we do to fight disinformation and support impartial news and trusted information at home and around the world?
- How much further can we go to support more local news reporting and services across the UK?
- How can we harness the potential of AI in a safe and trusted way to support children’s learning and help the next generation?
- How can we help make sure no one is left behind as the UK moves fully to a digital future?
What happens next
We will work up our plans in the months ahead. We will also discuss them with government, which will ultimately take the decision on the overall future focus and funding of the BBC, after consulting with the public.
The licence fee needs modernisation and reform, so we will continue to explore actively all options that can make our funding model fairer, more modern and more sustainable.
Above all, we will keep listening to you, our audience. We want to make sure we are on the right track, especially when it comes to key issues like independence and how well we reflect the lives of everyone in the UK. And we want to hear more from younger people as the next generation of BBC audiences.
Please keep shaping the future of your BBC and thank you for having your say.
