Title: DG's 'touch of steel'.
Post by Administrator on Apr 18^th, 2015, 1:35pm

Anne McElvoy has interviewed DG Tony Hall for "The Royal Television Society".

"Can he win over the BBC's critics?"

The interview may be found here.

"Hall's message to the purse-string holder in No 10 after May will be a recasting of sturdy BBC principles: tooth-and-nail impartiality and the argument that, in a bewildering world, the Beeb is better than most broadcasters at separating the signal from the noise."

(Anne McElvoy is Policy Editor of The Economist and presents programmes for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4.)

I'm surprised he didn't go as far as saying a change of government would probably be more beneficial to the BBC'S Licence fee case....
