Britain - Ofcom: BBC Needs Radical Reform

That's something we've been saying for years.

The Guardian reports.

Ofcom has renewed its call for radical reform of the BBC board of governors, urging the government to stick with proposals for an independent body overseeing all public service broadcasting.

The media regulator has rejected proposals in the green paper to establish a "BBC Trust", the government proposal for a replacement body to the board of governors, saying the changes do not go far enough.

Government critics say the BBC Trust is just the board of governors by another name - and Ofcom has now firmly placed itself in this camp.

Good for them.
