We're calling on MPs & civil society organisations to share their views about the @BBC before it's too late for them to be considered. Head here to learn more vlv.org.uk/recent-events/bbc…
Great discussion with @TMChivers on why we need a proper dialogue with the people of the UK on what we want from our public service media. The current Charter Renewal process isn't getting even close to the debate that we need!
“Has the BBC board failed?”
In light of more BBC job cuts, I talk to @TMChivers Dr Tom Chivers @mediareformUK – whose PhD was on the last BBC Charter Review about a “real moment of reckoning” for public service media.

The UK media is dominated by a handful of billionaires, Big Tech bros and corporations. How can we build independent media that holds power to account and serves the public, rather than only benefiting shareholders, political elites and media moguls?
Another great panel at MDF!

Today's cuts pretty much mark the end of UK news on BBC News Channel.
They will only cover UK news "if it is of interest to the rest of the world"
"We will tailor its agenda to an international focus"
"These changes will allow us to raise more revenue from its global footprint"
We're calling for licence fee payers to have a meaningful voice in decisions about the future of the @BBC @CommonsCMS @mediareformUK @Demos

#BlueLights series 3 was superb drama.
I could relate to every character. It is rare that you can ever say that about a TV drama.
TPTV run guided tours of Public Eye filming locations (sadly not West Pier, though). How about a tour for Blue Lights locations? – at Ryther, England
Huge congratulations to the many people behind the @bbcproms who have been given a VLV Special Award. The Proms are truly at the heart ❤️of the BBC in its many forms today. The BBC stages 72 Proms @RoyalAlbertHall & this year a series of concerts in Gateshead, Bristol & Mold.
