And the other element you ve said, katie, is the bbc is extraordinarily well funded compared to the commercial sector. and i think one of our concerns has always been that they appear to be so well funded that they can then go and do things which are simply not possible for us to compete with. whether it s launching new services on a whim without really checking whether they re filling a commercial need or outbidding the commercial sector for massive amounts of sports content on radio. in television, they ve opted out of doing that, but in radio they re still doing that and just spending money in a way that we can t compete with. if ijust bring you in, you know, you looked at bbc funding, i think when you were in government is axing the licence fee by 2028 a realistic possibility, do you think? actually, the period i looked at it was when i was supporting the dcms select committee as a specialist adviser during their inquiry into the wider public service broadcasting landscape. and of ....

Sector is making no money. all of the investment that the commercial sector has put into radio over the past ten, 15, 20, 25 years really as commercial has really grown in the last 25 years. that s all for nothing, too. bbc radio is 100 years old this year. commercial radio is 50 years old next year. if this came to pass, it would be a terrible indictment on this government that they would throw away a cultural part of this country that is so well established and that 90% of the population, you know, listen to every week. it really, you know, radio is always forgotten in these conversations, and it s terribly sad to see that once again, that s the case. nadine dorries simply didn t even contemplate radio, probably when she made her announcement. but there are people in the commercial sector who feel that bbc radio, for example, is too big. it strays into their territory. so what is their appetite out there for it to be reined in? i think there s yes, we are constantly arguing to govern ....

Yeah, i mean, i d like to bring in phil riley here, chief executive of boom radio. you know, you ve built up radio stations, you know, commercial radio really well. let s take nadine dorries at face value. you know, if this is the last licence fee to be announced as she s suggesting, how could the bbc be funded? helen was touching on a couple of options, but what are the options, do you think? i think helen hit the nail on the head, really. i don t think there is really another funding model that works for anything like the scale of bbc that we have today. subscription is an interesting idea, but it falls very badly when you consider that 18 million households in the uk access their television via freeview. freeview, it s impossible to put subscription on freeview. it hasn t got conditional access, so there s 18 million people. if you take the bbc off them, the freeview model falls over the bbc. if it were to go down, the subscription route simply can t have bbc radio any more. because ....

Needs to make sure that then the bbc adheres to the highest standards in terms of the content contract they have with ofcom. i think ofcom have been actually less forceful than the old bbc governors were and i think that s a mistake and we should and we do try and press ofcom harder on that. but radio one and radio two that people worry about as being too commercial and, you know, getting back into getting into territory that they shouldn t be in? to a degree, although i think you have to, you have to acknowledge if you re going to allow the bbc to be in the radio business, it s going to have to be in most bits of the radio business and therefore it will be in the popular music end. but we are we expect if they re being funded the way they are, that that they do more than just play the hits, that they have a breadth of music and a breadth of subject matter, which you know, should be in a contract that they have with the population, if you like, through their ofcom contract and that nee ....
