The FT notes BBC Chairman Richard Sharp's latest thrilling speech calling on the Government to take back responsibility for directly funding the World Service. The report says 'Asked what would happen if the BBC failed to obtain government funding, Sharp replied: “The future of the World Service is in jeopardy.”'
I'm delighted to report that his speech in full does not mention jeopardy, which is, of course, copyrighted by Tim Davie.
Meanwhile, as the BBC seeks an extra £300m from taxpayers, Tim Davie has headed to Davos. As far as I can see, his only public platform is a panel set up by global PR friends, Edelman, talking about building trust in broadcasters.
