The BBC Trust has launched a review of BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Four and the Red Button.

The review will look at all content on the channels including news and nations and regions output. The only content excluded will be children's programming which was looked at in the Trust's review of children's services published in February.

According to the Trust, this will be the largest and most significant service review the Trust has undertaken. It will be the first time that the Trust has looked at the BBC One and BBC Two services.

Diane Coyle, BBC Trustee, who is leading the review said:"The Trust is the BBC's governing body and we need to ensure these services are meeting audiences' expectations. This is why we have launched this significant piece of work that will help us understand how well the BBC's most popular services are operating. These services have a key role in helping the BBC deliver its public service mission. We'll be looking at how they are performing against their service licences and whether they are offering value for money."

As part of the review the Trust is now launching a 12 week public consultation on all the services under review.

The consultation will be promoted on-air on BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC Four, on the bbc.co.uk and Trust websites and in a public leaflet being sent to libraries. The consultation will close on December 18th.
