With democracy and a free press under attack, the BBC cannot afford to mire itself in scandal
BBC needs new rules for chair in wake of Richard Sharp affair, says David Dimbleby. Keir Starmer was eager to say on Sunday that under a Labour government it would not be a political appointment, and the shadow culture secretary, Lucy Powell, has already convened a panel to examine the independence of the BBC and ways to strengthen the organisation. - www.theguardian.com

Richard Sharp resigns as BBC chair
The Adam Heppinstall KC-led investigation concluded that Sharp had mishandled communications around his involvement in securing an 800,000 loan to former prime minister Boris Johnson. We want to put on record our thanks to Richard, who has been a valued and respected colleague, and a very effective Chairman of the BBC. The BBC Board believes that Richard Sharp is a person of integrity. - www.broadcastnow.co.uk

BBC stuck in TV and radio era without digital plan
A spokesperson for the BBC said they have made significant progress and continue to build plans for a digital-first BBC. The MPs' report said the BBC was performing well when compared to rivals like Netflix, which do not have a public service obligation. Some work is already taking place to prioritise digital, with the corporation outlining plans to stop airing CBBC, BBC Four and Radio 4 Extra on linear TV and radio. - www.bbc.co.ukwww.bbc.co.uk

Musk said legacy blue verification ticks on Twitter would be removed from all users in the coming days - after a previous proposed deadline to do so by 1 April was missed - as part of his efforts to persuade individuals and organisations to pay a monthly subscription fee for his Twitter Blue service. Agrawal, along with Twitter's former chief financial officer Ned Segal and the former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, allege they have spent more than 1m of their own money on legal fees related to shareholder lawsuits and government investigations, which they are calling on Twitter to pay. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comFriday 07 April 2023, PM

BBC to cut 1,000 hours of TV increases savings target to $495m as licence fee freeze bites
The BBC has revealed it is cutting 1,000 hours of programming from its slates in a bid to achieve a revised savings target that has soared from 285m to 400m. The news emerged in the UK pubcaster's annual plan, which was published on Thursday, and will see around 500 hours of sports programming being cut from schedules, partly because there are fewer major events this year. The decision comes as the BBC faces considerable challenges to its model, largely because of the ongoing prize freeze of the TV licence fee, which has come at a time when programming costs have been rising rapidly. - tbivision.comtbivision.comARIAs, Radio Days Europe RadioGPT

Update on changes to BBC One HD on Freeview/Youview in England
We will be retiring the red slate that previously advised viewers to go to channel 1 for local programming, as viewers will no longer need to switch to channel 1 for local news and then back to 101 for BBC One in HD. Making BBC One HD available on a regional basis is a major undertaking for BBC teams and our suppliers, so we are going to launch regional versions of BBC One HD in two phases. The final place we need to ensure BBC One HD for the English regions is fully available is on BBC iPlayer. - www.bbc.co.ukwww.bbc.co.ukFriday 24 March 2023, PM

Opinion: What's driving the convergence of film and TV
Where films used to rely on a theatrical release and festival premieres, the ways in which audiences consume film and TV are now very much intertwined. These adaptions have shaken up industry norms around what makes a script fit for film or TV. And from a stylistic perspective, TV series more and more are resembling specific effects and creative choices from popular films. - tbivision.comtbivision.comFriday 17 March 2023, PM

The BBC news channel revamp has been a PR disaster
It is fair to say, as a former BBC head of television news has, that BBC number crunchers had been eyeing the duplicate costs of running two live news channels for a long time. Of course, the quest for young viewers does risk making BBC executives look a bit sad. In 1997, BBC News 24 made corporation history, not for launching Auntie into the brave new digital age, but for the appearance of the BBC's first jacketless news presenter. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comThursday 02 March 2023, AM
