“AblowforUKdirectors,andtotheindustry”AndyHarrowerreactstoBBCcommissioningcuts

Fewer commissions mean fewer opportunities to tell bold, distinctive stories and to build sustainable careers —especially outside London. UK audiences need diverse, homegrown voices. That can’t happen when cuts impact programmes  and potentially narrow the range and ambition of what gets made. Charter Renewal has to ensure the BBC has secure and sustainable funding for the future.”
