Richard Ayre, former senior BBC executive, on BBC Director-General Tim Davie and Chair Samir Shah's parliamentary appearance
Manage episode 439180901 series 3400167
Richard Ayre spent thirty-five years at the BBC, serving as the former controller of editorial policy, deputy chief executive of BBC News, and a BBC Trustee. Richard is also a former member of the OFCOM Content Board and is currently the chair of the UK's independent press regulator, Impress.
We discuss BBC Director-General Tim Davie and BBC Chair Dr. Samir Shah’s appearance before the House of Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee, where they were scrutinised for their handling of the Huw Edwards scandal and local news. Their views on BBC funding and governance were also revealed.
“I think paying him the additional annual increment was indefensible—completely indefensible—and there was no legal risk at all.”
