Radio reporters to be axed by BBC and told to reapply for new roles
Now the BBC plans to axe all its national radio reporters and ask them to reapply for a smaller number of jobs as television, radio and digital reporters, rather than as dedicated audio journalists. Negotiations between BBC management, producers and reporters are at a crucial stage, and one or two programmes, including the news flagship Today on Radio 4, may win some leeway, with producers allowed to commission specialist pieces. - www.theguardian.com

Sky Arts' decision to go free makes the art world more accessible to everyone
Making it free to air is a bold decision for a product based on a subscription model - yet it will clearly place Sky in the vanguard of arts coverage in the UK, and it will no doubt hope the goodwill it engenders will be converted into support for its paid-for offerings, including its on-demand library of 2,000 hours of arts content. To make its programming as expansive - and accessible - as possible, Sky Arts' new slate includes EastEnders hardman Danny Dyer presenting a documentary about his mentor, playwright Harold Pinter jungle pioneer Goldie revisiting the art that has influenced his music AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson meeting Foo Fighter and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl Benjamin Zephaniah celebrating the best of the spoken word and Elbow's Guy Garvey digging out all-time great TV music performances. - inews.co.uk

Tim Davie's introductory speech as BBC Director-General
We have made progress, and I am biased, but BBC Studios has led the way, proving that we can create an organisation that attracts the best talent and creates unmistakably BBC content, while generating competitive returns. As you will have seen in your email, we have reduced the Executive Committee of the BBC from 17 to 11 to streamline decision-making and work as one BBC. Importantly, Charlotte Moore's appointment as Chief Content Officer will mean we work across the BBC to maximise the impact of all our content across audio and video. - www.bbc.co.ukwww.bbc.co.ukBBC boss Tim Davie to become stricter on staff airing views on social media
Tim Davie is to crack down on staff posting their views on social media in a move to restore the view of the BBC as impartial, and raised the question of slashing the corporations' output by a fifth, cutting more jobs and potentially shutting TV channels. Davie said that the corporation needs to become leaner, highlighting that staff numbers at the licence-fee funded BBC have actually increased despite a cost-cutting drive. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.com

BBC chief Tim Davie starts role with focus on 'unique value for customers' - TBI Vision
Davie was named director general of the BBC earlier this summer, replacing the outgoing Tony Hall who took much of the UK industry by surprise in January when he revealed he would be exiting the broadcaster. The former BBC Studios CEO had headed up its commercial division for more than seven years, during which he launched production arm BBCS and oversaw its merger with former commercial division BBCWW. Davie, a former marketing chief at Pepsi, also further expanded BBCS's focus away from straight distribution with the roll-out of streamer BritBox into the US and Australia, content deals with Discovery for natural history programming and last year's deal to take full control of UKTV's linear channels. - tbivision.comtbivision.comMonday 31 August 2020, PM
Tim Davie faces battle to find new BBC funding model
The BBC has looked at whether the licence fee could ultimately be replaced with a new special income tax, based on the Swedish model for funding public service broadcasting according to two executives at the corporation, with a new funding model set to be one of the key issues facing incoming director general, Tim Davie. One of the BBC insiders said it would be a tough sell to add a new tax to people's payslips in the current political environment, especially with concerns that the government could force the BBC to share more of its funding pot with other broadcasters. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comSunday 30 August 2020, PM

Ofcom UK Aim Next 5G Mobile Spectrum Auction at January 2021
The UK telecoms regulator has today confirmed that their much delayed auction of the 700MHz and 3.6-3.8GHz radio spectrum bands, which could boost new 5G mobile network coverage and mobile broadband speeds further into the Gigabit territory, will not now take its first bids until January 2021. The final outcome will ultimately depend upon who bids for what, but more spectrum tends to equal better mobile broadband speed and that's going to be key for 5G. At present EE, Vodafone and O2 only have access to a 40MHz, 50MHz and 40MHz slice - respectively - of the 3.4GHz mobile band for their 5G services. - www.ispreview.co.uk
