Didn't really know where to put this, is it News or is it Fighting back? However it seems the BBC has appointed somebody called Tim Davie as it's new Director General to take over from someone else called Tony Hall on 1/9/20. Tim Davie 53 is credited for turning around Dr Who and Top Gear and is described as being
"a former official in his local Conservative party". Cynic that I am I see this as the BBC as at last running scared as more and more people want to see the back of it's left wing agenda and there is a groundswell now questioning the Licence and it's overall funding. Add to that the internet giants competing for audience and his job get's ever harder. The people lurking in the shadows in the corridors of power must now be very fearful of killing the Golden goose that has nourished their ambitions for so long.
I would imagine Davie's task in returning the BBC to impartiality and ridding the corporation of it's 'trendy champagne socialist infiltrators' is monumental. Getting the entrenched left to change direction will be like getting a fully loaded oil tanker to do a handbrake turn! Early to comment now but will he last the course or will the task be too much and his appointment end in his resignation? Time will tell.
The broadcaster's new director general is a global deal-maker facing a daunting set of challenges.
