The UK government Department for Culture, Media and Sport has published a Green Paper as part of its review of the current BBC Royal Charter.
“The UK government is reviewing the current BBC Charter, which expires on 31 December 2027. This green paper (government document) outlines the changes we are considering making to the Charter, to futureproof the BBC and help it continue serving the public. The new Charter will take effect on 1 January 2028.”
Concurrently, members of the public are invited to participate in a public consultation.
“We are seeking the views of the general public, those working in the creative industries, researchers and industry organisations across a number of issues and options for change. The responses and evidence submitted to this consultation will help inform the government’s decisions on making changes to the BBC’s Charter and Framework Agreement.
The consultation will be open for 12 weeks from 16 December 2025 to 10 March 2026.”
Those wishing to participate can find the online form here.

MID-TERM REVIEW OF THE BBC HIGHLIGHTS IMPARTIALITY AND COMPLAINTS
The BBC is a big business and as such it has ‘big business culture written through it like Brighton rock. Its focus on life is seen through the eyes of big business structures, its experts are called to report from academic structures. Almost every discussed subject, from measles to media AI, ends up as a discussion of how much and how do we pay for it. The bias of the BBC is not in its politics but in its innate and cultural acceptance of big business values and its vigour in defending them. It knows the value of little and discusses the cost of everything.
