Committee Actual start House of Lords

Speaker 1
Good afternoon, I'm pleased to welcome you all to this meeting of the Communications and Digital Committee. In this session, we will be continuing our work on the BBC Charter Review. The BBC is just one of the UK's public service broadcasters, alongside ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5.
We're looking forward to hearing from each of those broadcasters today as well as from Sky. It's worth my mentioning that the Culture, Media and Sport Committee in the Commons also has an inquiry into the BBC Charter Review and I think I imagine that some of you, if not all of you, will be speaking to them as well. It's worth pointing out that we are choosing to look at different aspects of the Charter Review, particularly but not entirely things like supporting growth, how the BBC supports growth, how the BBC supports the wider creative industries and things like technology and innovation. So that's the focus to what we're trying to do here, so it's not exactly the same as theirs. So, before I move on to questions, could I then ask each of you to introduce yourselves and your role as well as to explain very briefly how the work of your broadcaster is funded?
17:35 - 17:37
Speaker 3
So can we start with you, Stephen?
17:37 - 17:40
Speaker 2
Of course. I couldn't catch the last part of that question, sorry.
