Is the BBC abdicating its responsibilities over Brexit?
When the BBC is accused of bias, its reaction is always the same - executives and journalists protest that if all sides attack the BBC with equal force all the time then they must be doing something right. Last weekend, thousands of EU supporters marched in towns and cities across the country, but little appeared on the BBC. Yet Nigel Farage has only to tip a crate of fish into the Thames and the BBC dutifully turns up to film the stunt. - www.theguardian.com

Isle of Man
Jason Moorhouse wanted to know what plans there were to bring the digital TV and radio coverage in the Isle of Man up to an equivalent level with the UK. Currently, fewer Freeview television services are available from Manx relay transmitters than from the main masts in the UK. The island's three radio stations - EnergyFM, 3FM and government-subsidised Manx Radio - all broadcast on analogue frequencies and online. With regard to the BBC, he said he could raise the issue of allowing other stations to use the DAB transmitter as part of wider negotiations over the TV licence fee and the corporation's Isle of Man coverage. - www.iomtoday.co.imwww.iomtoday.co.imFriday 30 March 2018, AM

www.buzzsprout.comThe BBC is driving its presenters to despair
The BBC is now recouping tax and national insurance from his fee - on which, of course, tax and national insurance contributions have been paid as company income - to the extent that he fears being made homeless. The overwhelming majority of people in our group are not lavishly paid, and all of us accept our tax responsibilities but forming PSCs was forced upon us by the BBC, which must take responsibility for that. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comWednesday 21 March 2018, PM

BBC presenters reveal 'constant anxiety' caused by pay arrangements
A BBC presenter has told MPs she tried to kill herself because of stress over the controversial arrangements under which she was employed. The announcement came a day before DJ Liz Kershaw, radio presenter Kirsty Lang and financial journalist Paul Lewis were due to give evidence to an inquiry by the House of Commons culture committee into the use of PSCs. Before Tuesday's hearing, the committee released a dossier of evidence from presenters who claim the BBC put pressure on them to be employed via a PSC, rather than as a member of staff, only for them to find themselves targeted by an HMRC clampdown on the arrangement. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comSunday 18 March 2018, PM
Russian voices in western media leave regulators with new type of headache
Although RT is a very minor part of the diplomatic crisis between Russia and the UK, it serves as a metaphor for the ingrained and fraught nature of the relationship between western governments and the globalised systems of free media they have perpetuated. The ability of the Russian authorities to infiltrate and amplify within the European and US news environment leaves regulators with a new type of headache. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comFriday 16 March 2018, PM

My TV's audio isn't great
Of course, everybody calls everything a soundbar nowadays, but you'd probably have been happier with a soundbar instead of a soundbase. At the time of writing, the Best Seller in Amazon's soundbar category was Majority's Snowdon Soundbar with Built-In Subwoofer, apparently reduced from 119.95 to 45.95. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comThursday 08 March 2018, AM
