Culture, Media and Sport Committee Actual start House of Commons
15:00 - 16:02
Speaker 1
Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. Today is the sixth oral evidence session for our BBC Royal Charter Review inquiry and we are joined by our first panel, who are Martin Baker MBE, the Chief Commercial Affairs Officer at Channel 4, Magnus Brooke, Director of Strategy, Policy and Regulation, ITV, and Stephen Lotinga, Group Managing Director of Corporate Affairs at Sky. You've all got very complicated job titles, but you're all very welcome. Thank you very much for joining us today. Before we begin, can I remind members to declare any interests before asking their questions?
But I would like to kick off, gentlemen, with you if I can.
You all know the Green Paper suggests various different ways to fund the BBC, some that have been eliminated from inquiries but some that are still there. One is advertising, Martin. Are there ways in which the BBC could get revenue from advertising in a manner that would be acceptable to commercial broadcasters?
16:02 - 16:08
Speaker 2
If the answer to that question implies it being advertising being carried around public services, no.
