So we now have the full minutes from the BBC Trust meeting on 21 November; which featured James Harding leading for the Executive side on future strategy for BBC World Service, BBC World News and bbc.com/news. They are not phrased nicely for lovers of radio....
132.3 They discussed the proposed strategy with the Executive, including the continued
transition from primarily a radio broadcaster into the world’s leading multilingual
digital news provider.
132.4 They also discussed a variety of funding options for the remainder of the Charter
period in order to deliver the proposed strategy.
132.5 The Trust endorsed the direction of travel on the Executive’s plans and agreed to
further discussions over the coming months.
The two sides returned to the discussion on December 18, but we probably won't get the minutes til February. Then we are only a few weeks from the transfer of World Service funding to licence-fee payers; it's all a bit last minute, innit ?
