Process for privatisation announced as part of sweeping changes to UK media landscape

Ministers will formally start the process of privatisingon Thursday – despite widespread opposition from the British media industry, the broadcaster’s current management, and a large number of Conservative MPs.

The announcement will be made as part of a range of legislative measures that will change the British media industry, including proposals to require broadcasters to make “distinctively British” programmes rather than show set in “non-specific locations, with an international cast, communicating in US English”.

Legally requiring television manufacturers to prominently feature British public service broadcasters on the homescreens of smart TVs. Although public service television broadcasters broadly welcomed the proposals, the British radio industry complained that the government had ignored their pleas to force smart speaker devices such as Amazon’s Alexa to be required to carry their services.
