  • Sky Response to Call for Evidence
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL Sky’s response to Ofcom’s Call for Evidence December 2020 NON-CONFIDENTIAL Executive summary This is the response of Sky UK Limited (“Sky”) to Ofcom’s call for evidence on its review of the interaction between BBC Studios (“BBCS”) and the BBC Public Service (“Public Service”), dated 9 October 2020 (“Call for Evidence”). In Sky’s experience, the existing arrangements between the BBC’s commercial subsidiaries and the Public Service risk distorting the market, in breach of the BBC’s regulatory obligations under the Royal Charter and Framework Agreement. Sky’s main concerns include: a. the lack of meaningful separation between the management and direction of the Public Service and the BBC’s commercial subsidiaries, including BBCS; b. the exclusive supply of key content to BritBox, in which the BBC holds a 10% shareholding; c. the risk that such exclusivity undermines the ability of BBCS to earn a commercial rate of return, in accordance with the Trading and Separation requirements imposed by Ofcom (“the Requirements”);1 and d. the lack of transparency in the supply of goods and services from the Public Service to BBCS. This response outlines the need for greater separation and transparency between BBCS and the Public Service in order to safeguard against the distortion of the market and/or the granting of an unfair competitive advantage to the BBC’s commercial activities. 1 Ofcom, ‘The BBC’s commercial and trading activities: requirements and guidance’, 11 February 2019.

  • VLV Briefing Note BBC Public Funding and Top Slicing 2010-2021 July 2021
    VLV Briefing Note BBC Public Funding and Top Slicing 2010-2021 July 2021 VLV updated analysis of BBC public funding between 2010 and 2021 shows that in 2020-21 the BBC received 75% of the public funding it received in 2010 in real terms while the BBC Annual Report highlights significant inflation in production costs. The BBC is currently negotiating its funding from 2022-2027 which is likely to be announced in the autumn. It’s been estimated that in order to deliver the Director General’s strategy the BBC will need a funding settlement 2% higher than current funding, without any additional ‘top slicing’ to fund other projects, plus a rise in the price of the TV licence in line with inflation.1 In present circumstances, such an outcome seems unlikely. In that event, the BBC faces a challenging future and is being forced to increase commercial income to supplement its public funding. VLV, which represents citizen interests in broadcasting, is concerned that under such financial pressure the BBC is likely to be unable to continue to maintain the range and quality of existing services for UK audiences and is likely to focus on providing content which is more commercially attractive to broadcasters around the world. This would undermine the BBC’s delivery of UK-specific public service content which benefits British society. Summary: • Updated VLV analysis of public funding shows that public funding for the BBC has declined by 25% since 2010 in real terms while production costs have risen considerably since then. • The BBC has exceeded its savings goals set in 2015.

Bush, Neil is another evil Satanist running the biggest pedophile network in the USA currently. He MUST be stopped, he MUST be punished, since he (and lots of other high-level Satanists) operates his crime empire with impunity and always has had immunity from prosecution by the FBI and the rest of the FEDS. Many, many other little kids will suffer INTOLERABLE, EXCRUCIATING sexual agony and torture that their little bodies are not ready for, and will be scared and traumatized for the rest of their lives because of sick perverted fun these monsters enjoy by inflicting on these innocent little children, some of which are even used in secret Satanic sacrifices, and are brutally murdered, all for the sickening pleasure of these evil perverts. All of the Senate, and just about all of the Congress, and Federal Attorneys, and high-ranking military officers are involved in this Illuminati death cult. If you just sit there doing nothing, nothing will be stopped. Check out what happens at your local Masonic Temple or Scottish Rite Temple between tomorrow (Halloween) and November 1st. Every sheriff department and every police department has an imbedded agent who's job it is to get arrested and charged Satanists, and Freemasons off the hook, having their charges dropped quickly once they find out these criminals are a Satanist or a Mason.
