Nandy's terms

Lisa Nandy has been telling MPs what she expects next from the BBC. She thinks the bulk of its management should move to Salford; and that the "Nations & Regions" element of the BBC should be more granular and more powerful. Perhaps, I'd guess, a bit like the old ITV structure that relied on Granada TV for a large part of its weekday output; the same structure that gave a career to her step-father Ray Fitzwalter and her mother Louise Nandy. 

She wants more money spent on 'innovation', particularly stuff that delivers a media-literate youth audience. 

She's ready to drop 'political' appointments to the BBC Board, in return for more regional oomph; and expects worker representatives as well. 

Some big asks for a new system of government-guaranteed no-opt out funding.
