The BBC is editorially and operationally independent of the government, and trends relating to audience and viewership are a matter for the BBC.<\/p>

The BBC\u2019s Royal Charter requires the BBC to represent, reflect and serve audiences, taking into account the needs of diverse communities of all the UK nations and regions. It is for Ofcom as the BBC\u2019s independent regulator to ensure the BBC complies with its Charter duties.<\/p>

The BBC includes details on audience trends within their Annual Report and Trust Statement.<\/p>

The Secretary of State and I have had constructive discussions with the BBC leadership, and have made it clear that the BBC needs to ensure it is more accessible, and representative of the people who pay the licence fee.<\/p>
