«Breaking News» Chairman of the BBC warns that it is 'too tied up in red tape to compete with Netflix'

BBC chairman, Sir David Clementi, is expected to say the broadcaster is no longer the 'big beast in the jungle'

Too much red tape is stopping the BBC from competing with on-demand rivals, its chairman will warn today.

Sir David Clementi is expected to say the broadcaster is no longer ‘the big beast in the jungle’ and is under threat from online streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.

In a speech to the Oxford Media Convention, Sir David will call for an urgent debate on regulation of broadcasters to ensure the BBC ‘remains fit for the global, digital age’.

He will say: ‘The current regulatory system has its origins in an era where the BBC was seen as the big beast in the jungle.

‘But that view of the world has now passed. Increasingly, our major competitors are well-funded, international giants – Netflix, Spotify, Facebook, YouTube – whose financial resources dwarf our own.’

The BBC wants to offer more box sets and make iPlayer programmes available for more than 30 days – where rivals offer them for at least three years

But it has to submit any plans to rigorous public interest tests, which Sir David will say take months to process and mean the BBC risks ‘lagging even further behind audience needs’.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
