Judge us by our quality, says BBC's Tony Hall
It was an upbeat performance by Tony Hall, BBC director general, at an event held by the Future for Public Service Television inquiry.

BBC Wales: Ofcom Welsh Govt push for radio coverage boost
Acknowledging that the availability of BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Wales is primarily a matter for the BBC, it noted that while FM coverage of BBC Radio Cymru was high, BBC Radio Wales could only reach 81 of households on FM. With the BBC currently exploring options for improving BBC Radio Wales FM coverage, Ofcom confirmed that it saw no reasons why the existing BBC National DAB multiplex, which carries all of the BBC's UK-wide stations, can't be re-configured to add BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Wales via 14 unnamed transmitter sites in mid-Wales. Due to the way the BBC National DAB multiplex is broadcast as a single frequency network across the country, a solution that is being portrayed by Ofcom for mountainous mid-Wales is unlikely to be viable in other parts of the UK. BBC Local Radio in England and BBC radio stations for Scotland and Northern Ireland are carried on a network of local DAB multiplexes, operated by commercial organisations. - www.a516digital.comFriday 01 April 2016, PM

Don't buy a Freeview Play box until you've read these five facts
Since then its growth has stalled, but Freeview Play aims to modernise TV once again by bringing streaming services directly to your TV. But what can Freeview Play offer you over your standard TV recorder, smart TV and streaming devices such as Google's Chromecast and the Amazon Fire TV Stick Is it really worth investing in a Freeview Play box just yet If a separate set-top box doesn't appeal, Panasonic is offering up a line of Freeview Play compatible Viera TVs. Including a tuner into the TV as standard makes much more sense - it's how Freeview managed to reach a wide audience initially. - www.alphr.comTuesday 29 March 2016, AM
