The BBC is to close linear channels as it “consolidates activity under one simple, single brand,” Director General Tim Davie has revealed, as he unveiled a blueprint for a digitally-led…
Davie didn’t elaborate on the linear closures during an RTS talk this morning but the declaration raises the possibility of BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four uniting under a single brand, which he described as “the BBC.”
Davie, who has been in post two years now, stressed the need for more investment to lead the BBC into an internet-only digital future. He said the BBC’s current £5.3B annual income can just about keep the corporation afloat with prices soaring and the license fee frozen for the next two years. His blueprint for a thriving digitally-led PSB is four-pronged: “owning a move to an internet-only future with greater urgency,” “transforming the BBC faster,” “proactively investing in the BBC brand” and “moving faster to regulate for future success.”
