BBC has avoided a Bake Off poaching incident, and keeps a show that 100% is going to last to at least 2030 anyway.
The BBC has signed a deal with Studio Lambert that will keep The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors on the BBC until at least 2030.
A 10pm press release on a Wednesday hmmmm
Liza Tarbuck has decided to step down from her Saturday Radio 2 show.

Right wing media: DEFUND THE BBC.
Right wing media: why can’t the BBC now afford to show the thing I like?

I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
The BBC News at Ten comes from Abu Dhabi, where Clive Myrie is presenting at 2.15 in the morning.

Hahaha good point

How you do this all the time is beyond me
I’m a week before submitting a manuscript. Is it normal to want to scream into the abyss continuously?
The sole Iranian athlete is not participating in the Paralympics, as they are not able to make it to Verona, C4 commentators say.
Not sure it was a good idea to do the Paralympic Opening Ceremony in Verona. Hardly any athletes because they're competing hours away, and a lot of athletes boycotting Russia and Belarus participating anyway.
Channel 4 juggling Winter Paralymics coverage and Crufts live coverage in a weekend. An achievement for a commercial public service broadcaster.
Genuinely expecting Clare Balding to be presenting Crufts and the Winter Paralympics at the same time by now.
We honestly need Nadia back on television.
Put her on The Traitors. Get her on Real Housewives Of London. Fling her around the Strictly dancefloor. Let her host BBC News!
A joy. So good to see she remains just as iconic as she was 20 years ago.
I still think about this block probably changed the British broadcasting landscape for the worse. Terrible policy decision.
The BBC today advocating that other PSBs could use iPlayer for their programmes in the future.
How 20 years ago a similar idea was blocked by the regulator, before the streamers came along.
BBC: “The current model cannot maintain the BBC’s public service mission for the future.
"When 94% of people use the BBC each month yet fewer than 80% of households contribute, reform is needed to deliver sufficient funding in a way that is sustainable and fair for all.”
BBC asks to end political board appointments:
"The BBC is unique in having a Charter that expires every decade and this fixed end-date which threatens its right to exist should be removed. There should also be changes to board appointments and how funding decisions are made about the BBC."
"The current funding model - designed for a different era - cannot maintain the BBC’s public service mission for the future. In addition, the BBC is calling on the UK Government to recognise the role played by the World Service as a global beacon of media freedom and take back full funding."
BBC Response to Green Paper:
As well as content on YouTube they say:
"We will open up BBC platforms like iPlayer and Sounds to other UK content providers, so the country can retain scaled PSB services capable of competing with global streamers."
Mock the Week has been confirmed for a second series on TLC.
