Dr Shah has considerable experience of broadcasting that he will bring to the role, with a clear focus on factual content, especially in politics, news and current affairs. During the hearing, we examined his experience and vision for other aspects of the work of the Corporation, including drama, entertainment and music. We welcome Dr Shah’s recognition of his need to gain further insight across the full breadth of the work of the BBC. If appointed, we expect him to be able to demonstrate what he has done to achieve this when appearing before the Committee next year as part of our scrutiny of the BBC.
