[cma-l] BBC Trust review of BBC Local Radio and local and regional news and current affairs in England

[CMA-L]

The BBC Trust has opened a public consultation on its latest service review
– BBC Local Radio, plus local and regional news on television and online -
 as part of its ongoing programme of reviews of the BBC’s services.

The review will focus on how well BBC Local Radio and local news services
in England are fulfilling the commitments in the service licences the Trust
has set for the BBC – how well they are serving audiences, the extent to
which people are using the services and the impact the services are
making.  Key questions will also include whether they are delivering
high-quality, distinctive content that represents good value for money for
licence fee payers.

Whilst not formally assessing market impact, the review will consider the
BBC’s position in the local media environment and how its local news
provision currently fits with that supplied by others.

The review will also look at whether BBC Local Radio and local and regional
news is equipped for changes to listening and viewing habits including
responding to technological shifts.

 The consultation will be open until *Monday 28th September *and further
details on it can be found below.
