The former head of BBC News has said the corporation should focus on “fewer, bigger and better” programmes that viewers perceive as “worth the licence fee alone”.
Roger Mosey also said the BBC should stop making “lower grade schedule filler” and cluttering the schedules following the Government’s licence fee freeze announcement.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries confirmed the licence fee is to be frozen at £159 for two years, until 2024, after which it will rise in line with inflation for the following four years.
