Platform change ?

Lord Hall is Pendolino-bound for Manchester this morning, promising staff news about BBC Online. It's initiative-time of the year, and it would be good to have something big new and bold to talk to MPs about, in tomorrow's DCMS Select Committe session at Quay House, MediaCityUK, Salford.

Who from the exec will be alongside the DG ? BBC Online has evaded the DG's attempts to transcend platforms, with old-style divisions still carving up the pot, held together by a central Home Page team. Last year £290m was spend on content and delivery of the service (that excludes long-term R&D). It was last broken down in detail in the 2016/17 annual report....

News, Travel & Weather £50.6 million (2016: £50.9 million), Sport £19.1 million (2016:
£16.7 million), Childrens £10.4 million (2016: £9.4 million), BBC Three £37.1 million (2016: £10.4 million), Knowledge & Learning £15.4 million (2016: £18.6 million), TV & iPlayer £14.9 million (2016:£16.3 million) and Radio & Music £14.6 million (2016: £13.5 million)
