GBNews published this video item, entitled “Former BBC boss slams ‘complete lack of reality’ over broadcaster’s response to licence fee freeze” – below is their description.
A former BBC chairman has told corporation bosses to watch their own news bulletins highlighting the cost of living crisis before moaning about a lack of funding.
Lord Grade of Yarmouth claimed there is a “complete lack of reality” about the response from some at the Beeb as he backed the two-year freeze of the “regressive” licence fee.
He said some peers seemed to be suggesting the BBC is “impoverished” by the new settlement, but argued £3.7 billion in 2022 in a crowded market place is a “surprisingly good settlement”.
