Part 9/12:
The impending 100th anniversary of the BBC's founding is seen as an opportune moment for reform advocates to push for a referendum. The campaign aims to scrutinize the BBC's role, transparency, and accountability, echoing similar debates seen during the Brexit era. Politicians across the spectrum are expected to leverage this milestone to argue for change, which could drastically reduce the BBC's influence and funding model.
This political upheaval is compounded by concerns over metropolitan bias, with critics alleging that the BBC's coverage is disproportionately influenced by London and New York, marginalizing regional voices and viewpoints.
