The BBC can make more efficiency savings rather than relying on cuts to shows, the head of the public spending watchdog has suggested.
...they know that, but it's not blackmail if you're not threatening to harm things people care about, now is it?
In response to the two-year freeze on the licence fee this year, the broadcaster’s director-general refused to rule out BBC2, BBC4 or Radio 5 Live being axed.
But speaking in front of peers yesterday, comptroller and auditor general of the National Audit Office Gareth Davies said he would ‘strongly resist’ the idea there are no efficiency savings left.
Mr Davies said the NAO’s work at the corporation showed there was ‘still duplication’ and pointed to the fact there were three teams dealing with advertising revenue from the US.
Who else is going to employ the expensively but uselessly educated graduate children of TV executives?
IMO if the BBC disappeared out of my life today it would not be missed for one second other than having an extra weeks pension in my pocket rather than contributing to the BBC's millionaires.

ReplyDeleteComptroller.
A comptroller is a management-level position responsible for supervising the quality of accounting and financial reporting of an organization. A financial comptroller is a senior-level executive who acts as the head of accounting, and oversees the preparation of financial reports, such as balance sheets and income statements. In most Commonwealth countries, the comptroller general, auditor general, or comptroller and auditor general is the external auditor of the budget execution of the government and of government-owned companies. Typically, the independent institution headed by the comptroller general is a member of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions.
