Katie Razall: The BBC’s annual report is a call for a new funding model.

For that age group, YouTube is the first choice. A positive for the BBC is that it is the only UK media brand to feature in the top five brands used by young people, with 69% of under-16s and 63% of 16-34-year-olds.

Other brands accessed by young people are – unsurprisingly – all the big streams and social media platforms.

It’s not all doom and gloom. Globally, the BBC is now reaching more than half a billion people for the first time.

Nationally, 94% of UK adults use the BBC on average every month. Whether it’s Celebrity Betrayers, the World Cup, Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday celebrations or factual, factual reporting, the BBC is to be celebrated – and is being consumed, often in abundance.

But in this report – again – he acknowledges that recent editing mistakes and scandals have tarnished the BBC’s reputation over the past year.

These include a Gaza documentary narrated by the son of a Hamas official; A documentary about medics in Gaza which the BBC decided not to show and which was later broadcast on Channel 4. And Panorama about Donald Trump, which led to the impeachment of the US president.

He is asking for $10 billion (£7.45bn), but the BBC is fighting the case and has been hurt by the broadcast of the documentary, which has never been shown in America.

Trump was mentioned just nine times in the 256-page report, and still the BBC apologized for separating two parts of his speech before the Capitol Hill riot.

The BBC’s annual income is £3.88bn from license fees and another £2.15bn from its commercial operations. It’s an understatement to say that $10 billion will blow a hole in the bill. The report made it clear that there was “no provision” for the bill to originate.
