Dorothy Byrne, former head of news and current affairs at Channel 4, on privatisation, sympathy with Conservative plans for reform and the need for radical ideas in broadcasting

from Roger Bolton's Beeb Watch

Dorothy Byrne was until recently Editor at Large at Channel 4, having been its head of news and current affairs for many years. We discuss the government's decision not to privatise Channel 4 and its plans for reform. Should the channel start making its own content and should more right wing voices be heard? And is there a need for radical ideas in broadcasting.“I think it is interesting to me, that I'm so in sympathy with much of what the Conservatives are saying they now want to do for Channel 4.”Support the podcast by subscribing here.Find all our podcasts hereRoger Bolton's Guardian Opinion article here. @BeebRoger@[email protected]@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.
