Ofcom says BBC1's spending on original programming fell last year, the biggest drop across the public sector broadcasters. But the BBC's Director of Strategy and Policy, John Tate*, fearlessly says Ofcom have got the wrong end of the stick, and their figures are all nonsense anyway.
Here's the actual words from Ofcom: The most pronounced percentage reduction in first-run investment in 2011 was on BBC One, down by 16% to £719m; in absolute terms, BBC One spend also fell by the greatest amount, down by £140m.
John Tate's riposte is here. Do you think he's confident Ed Richards won't be his new boss ?
