:08:56. > :09:01.fantastic programmes for audiences, and to act as an engine
:09:02. > :09:05.for growth and creativity. The BBC Trust will be replaced
:09:06. > :09:12.with a new independent board. As many as half of its members
:09:13. > :09:16.will be appointed by the government. There will be new rules on diversity
:09:17. > :09:21.and impartiality, and Ofcom, the broadcasting watchdog,

:09:24. > :09:29.its nose into schedules and the 93 year old licence fee survives

:09:34. > :09:36.of the licence fee, the future of how the BBC competes
:09:37. > :09:39.with its rivals, you have ducked No, I think the changes we're
:09:40. > :09:44.making are substantial. I think they will have
:09:45. > :09:46.a significant effect. I think they will ensure
:09:47. > :09:50.that the BBC excels even more at the things the BBC does
:09:51. > :09:54.which are prized by audiences across the country, and also we put
:09:55. > :09:57.in place a completely It will be a much stronger
:09:58. > :10:02.board, much more involved Why should half of them be
:10:03. > :10:05.government appointees? The BBC benefits from ?3.7 billion
:10:06. > :10:09.of public money and I think the government is entitled
:10:10. > :10:13.to have its representation. But there's a fear the BBC
:10:14. > :10:17.would have to doff its cap This is not a state
:10:18. > :10:21.broadcaster, like you get This is an independent
:10:22. > :10:26.element of free speech. Why does the government have any

:10:35. > :10:40.there might be a subscription. I think the White Paper's main
:10:41. > :10:44.message about distinctive, high-quality programming is exactly
:10:45. > :10:48.what I think the BBC If you're being really honest
:10:49. > :10:54.with yourself do you have even a tiny inkling that somehow
:10:55. > :10:57.the BBC got away with it? I don't think the BBC
:10:58. > :10:59.got away with it. I think if you look back
:11:00. > :11:03.at where we were a year ago the debate and discussions,
:11:04. > :11:08.which have been had involving the DCMS and other parts
:11:09. > :11:11.of government, some of this has been public, some of this has been behind
:11:12. > :11:14.closed doors, are exactly the discussions and
:11:15. > :11:19.debates you should have. For months there have been all sorts
:11:20. > :11:22.of suggestions round here that really might have changed
:11:23. > :11:26.what you see and hear on screen, In the end, today's plans
:11:27. > :11:32.will change how the BBC is run, but it's more tinkering under
:11:33. > :11:36.the bonnet of the organisation itself than a radical
:11:37. > :11:39.rethink for the future. But with the days of huddling around
:11:40. > :11:46.the set disappearing fast, shouldn't the BBC change
:11:47. > :11:49.more quickly too? There will be disappointment
:11:50. > :11:52.in the commercial sector that the BBC hasn't been reduced
:11:53. > :11:58.in scope and size. But the emphasis on innovation
:11:59. > :12:03.and risk taking is good This, my sweet, is a letter
:12:04. > :12:09.from my solicitor. At times it seems the BBC could have
:12:10. > :12:12.been served an ultimatum. But these talks have come
:12:13. > :12:19.to a less dramatic end. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC
:12:20. > :12:33.News, Westminster. Lets talk to our media
:12:34. > :12:35.correspondent, David Sillitoe, who is outside Broadcasting House. Let's
:12:36. > :12:38.talk about regulation and independence in the light of this
:12:39. > :12:44.white paper. What is your reading of it? Well, overall it's certainly not
:12:45. > :12:48.as drastic as any thought it was going to be. We can look at some of
:12:49. > :12:52.the details. There are going to be big changes. For instance, programme
:12:53. > :12:55.making. Every programme outside of news and current affairs will be
:12:56. > :12:59.open to competitive tender for an outside company to make. Of course,
:13:00. > :13:03.those governance issues, those are big changes and the key phrase was
:13:04. > :13:07.from John Whittingdale, the government is entitled to
:13:08. > :13:12.representation because this is after all ?3.7 billion of public money.
:13:13. > :13:16.But there are many who disagree. For instance, Norman Fowler, a former
:13:17. > :13:22.Conservative minister, says no, this is ?3.7 billion of licence payers'
:13:23. > :13:25.money. He feels the directors should be absolutely independent. So why
:13:26. > :13:29.does the board matter so much more than the trust, which after all
:13:30. > :13:33.almost all its members are appointed by the government? Well, the trust
:13:34. > :13:37.is largely a Watchdog and if you read the White Paper there is a key
:13:38. > :13:42.phrase in there, the board will be setting the editorial direction of
:13:43. > :13:45.the whole of the BBC. This is a great deal of clarity now about
:13:46. > :13:50.where control is and it's right with the board, it's why it matters and
:13:51. > :13:53.it's why these discussions are far from over. David Sillitoe, our media
