Leading the UK into digital, speech by BBC Director-General Tim Davie
Good morning. Today, 100 years and 23 days after the first BBC broadcast, I want to talk about choices. Choices for us all.
Choices that have profound consequences for our society; its economic success, its cultural life, its democratic health. Our UK and its essence. Of what we hand to the next generation. Of growth.
Choices that concern not just the role of the BBC, but something bigger. About whether we want to leave a legacy of a thriving, world leading UK media market or accept, on our watch, a slow decline.
