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: β€œThe 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 says β€˜irreversible’ trends mean it will not survive without major overhaul In opening response to charter review, corporation points to β€˜mismatch’ between TV licence rules and viewing habits

Here's a good overview:

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."

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.
