BBC director general Tim Davie has urged industry leaders to adopt a bit of “swagger” and “act with urgency” to ensure public service broadcasting (PSB) remains relevant.

It comes ahead of the Government’s review of the BBC’s charter, which looks at how it should be funded, after it committed to increasing the licence fee in line with inflation each year until 2027.
