BBC supervision should be transferred to Ofcom, says report
At the end of 2016, the BBC will get its next Royal Charter, giving it set of rules and expectations it must meet as a public service broadcaster over the next 10 years. The UK government put a call out last year for feedback on what the public, and also its rivals, think the Beeb should do to best serve licence fee payers. The BBC has already set out ways it can cut costs and streamline operations, but a new independent report from David Clementi, the former chairman of Virgin Money and Prudential, has called for the broadcaster to be split from its overseeing body, the BBC Trust, and have that power transferred to communications regulator Ofcom.
