The BBC's current Charter comes to an end in 2027. So what happens next?


The media landscape around it has changed dramatically as audiences move online, traditional television viewing declines, competition grows and the licence fee itself is increasingly difficult to defend.


So should we simply renew the existing system or is this an opportunity to rethink public media completely?


This week I'm joined by Matt Deegan, host of The Media Club Podcast and one of the UK's leading voices in radio and audio. Matt has produced a detailed proposal, Public Media 2028, looking at what could replace the current BBC model.


We discuss why Matt thinks the status quo is no longer sustainable, whether we need public broadcasting or public content and what happens to the BBC when traditional prominence on television and radio disappears.
