Just what is the BBC for?
Think Tank IPPR has published a collection of essays from leading media commentators on the future of the BBC, amid the Charter Review into the licence fee and remit of the public service broadcaster.  There is general agreement that the BBC is a valued & trusted broadcaster that is doing a lot right, and that the licence fee should be retained.  However there are concerns that the BBC is insufficiently distinctive, particularly in peak times, relying on endless repeats & recommissioned ‘hardy-annuals’.
