See you in September

Confirmation of my as-yet-unnoticed scoop - the BBC's Annual Report and Accounts for 2019/20 won't be coming out at least until September.

The minutes of the BBC Board meeting in April say "The coronavirus pandemic had had a significant resource and prioritisation impact on teams across Finance and it was now anticipated that final consolidated accounts would not be ready for review until early to mid-July. An extra-ordinary Board meeting would be scheduled at the beginning of September at which to sign them off."

Also in the same minutes: James Purnell confirming a drop in radio listening during the epidemic: "The change in lifestyle during lockdown had seen overall radio listening drop, particularly with regard to breakfast and drivetime shows, but BBC figures were bucking the trend, possibly because of a higher level of speech content."
