Hoopla ! I have found the summary minutes of the BBC Executive for February. Once again, James Harding of BBC News is missing from both the list of attendees and those sending apologies. Can that really be three in a row ? And, in a rare example of lese-majeste, our revered Director of Nations and Regions is referred to as Kenny (could they be fake minutes ?).
The longest entry is about new performance measures to reflect the demands of the new Charter - and it looks like there'll be plenty more counting to do for programme makers, as Auntie seeks metrics to prove that shows are "distinctive".
"The Charter and Agreement requires the BBC to develop measures (and targets for
those measures where appropriate) with Ofcom to assess the performance of the UK Public
Services in fulfilling the BBC’s mission and promoting the Public Purposes. The BBC and Ofcom
must publish at least annually the performance measures and evidence about performance
against those measures.
"Executive Board discussed the proposed approach to this performance framework. Meeting the
Charter’s requirements on measuring distinctiveness and delivery of the Public Purposes would
require additional metrics. These were still in development but the paper outlined some
proposed approaches to them as well. The Board also discussed progress with the development
of metrics to measure ‘cross-media’ consumption of BBC content.
"Formal approval of the whole framework will be required when the BBC Board publishes its first
Annual Plan of the new Charter, in mid-2017"
