<p>The BBC Funding Review is looking at how alternative funding models could help
secure the broadcaster’s long-term sustainability amid an evolving media landscape,
increased competition and changing audience behaviour, while reducing the burden on
licence fee payers. It is a government-led review, supported by an expert panel that
incorporates a broad range of views from across the sector, providing advice and external
challenge on the issues set out in the review’s Terms of Reference, which are available
on gov.uk..</p><p>The Panel does not have any decision making powers, and is one aspect
of the Government’s BBC Funding Model Review.</p><p>The Secretary of State for Culture,
Media and Sport appointed Panel members based on their expertise across relevant sectors,
including television, radio, news and international relations. The experts were selected
in consultation with industry stakeholders based on their experience and knowledge
of wide ranging issues at the heart of the UK media sector such as the role of Public
Service Broadcasters, press sustainability and content for children and young adults.
Panel membership is voluntary. The Expert Panel has no legal status and was therefore
not set up under the Cabinet Office guidelines for public appointments.</p>
