The BBC is asking audiences to have their say about the future of the organisation, by launching a public engagement exercise. From today [March 27th], BBC account holders across the UK will start to receive an online questionnaire to help identify what they want from the BBC now, and what they want from it in the future.

The Our BBC, Our Future questionnaire kicks off a conversation with the public about the future of the BBC, ahead of the forthcoming review of the Corporation’s Royal Charter which sets the BBC’s mission and public purposes. It aims to ensure that the people who watch, listen, and use the BBC help drive the debate about its future.

The current Charter runs until 2027 and the BBC wants to use the views of the public to help shape what comes next. The questionnaire to account holders is the first part of this engagement and the BBC will conduct a range of audience research and polling in 2025 and 2026.

Tim Davie, BBC Director-General, commented: “The BBC belongs to all of us and we all have a say in its future. By taking part in this short questionnaire, people will be able to tell us what they want the BBC to offer, what we do well, what we could do better, and what they want us to focus on in years to come. I hope as many people as possible take a few minutes to tell us what really matters to them and how we can best play our part.”

Providing multiple choice answers, the questionnaire asks:

• what you/your family watch, listen to or use?
• what programmes/content you want from the BBC?
• what the BBC should provide overall?
• what kind of organisation you want the BBC to be in the future?
• how you feel the BBC is doing now?
• what the BBC should stand for in the future?

There is also a box for audiences to share anything else they deem important that the BBC could offer or improve in the future.

Findings from the questionnaire will be published, along with what that could mean for the future of the BBC, later this year.
