Could not disagree more. There's plenty of innovation possible at the BBC without having to go through a PVT.
The new system is much better than the new one. BBC management need to have someone saying: "this might be a cool idea but is it good value for money? Do licence fee payers actually want it? Do they need it?" The problem is inside people's heads and not the fault of the Trust. You can have radical ideas and implement them if you want to. You just have to try harder. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/greenslade/2008/01/neils_interrogation_of_ly ons_s.html#comment-882642 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Loosemore Sent: 26 March 2008 16:55 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [backstage] Embracing the torrent of online video > > The next step should be the BBC asking the BBC Trust to do a public > > value test on their proposals. > > > "public value test" = device for kicking things into the longest grass. Public Value Test = new hurdle the BBC has to pass before any new service launches, as set out in new Charter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/framework/public_value_test/index.html You can draw your own conclusions as to what this means in terms of the BBC's speed to market / appetite for radical ideas. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
