After a turbulent few weeks for the BBC, the Voice of the Listener and Viewer held a timely panel titled “What Next for the BBC?” at its conference on Wednesday. The speakers were Mark Damazer — former Controller of Radio 4, Deputy Director of BBC News, BBC Trustee — and Stephen Barnett, Professor of Communications at the University of Westminster.


They tackled the growing crisis of governance at the Corporation: the politicisation of the BBC Board, the influence of political appointees and how shifts in governance over the years have reshaped the BBC’s independence. They explored the tension between board culture and structural reform, questioned the effectiveness of Ofcom’s oversight, and assessed proposals for a new, genuinely independent appointments body.


They also faced questions on the BBC’s response to recent criticisms — including the Prescott memo - and the pressures facing BBC leadership.
