Audiences are being asked to share their thoughts about the BBC’s content and future in what the broadcaster bills as the biggest public engagement exercise it’s ever undertaken.
From today (March 27th), all viewers and listeners with a BBC Account – used to access iPlayer and BBC Sounds – will be emailed the link to an online questionnaire asking way they want from the BBC now and in the future.
The ‘Our BBC, Our Future’ questionnaire comes ahead of the forthcoming review of the Corporation’s Royal Charter which sets the BBC’s mission and purposes.
The current Charter runs until 2027 and the BBC says it will use public’s views to help shape what comes next.
Findings from the questionnaire will be published along with what that could mean for the future of the BBC, later this year.
The BBC will also be conducting a range of audience research and polling in 2025 and 2026.
BBC Director-General, Tim Davie, said: “The BBC belongs to all of us and we all have a say in its future.
“By taking part in this short questionnaire, people will be able to tell us what they want the BBC to offer, what we do well, what we could do better, and what they want us to focus on in years to come.
“I hope as many people as possible take a few minutes to tell us what really matters to them and how we can best play our part.”
