The BBC makes the UK front pages almost every day but Director General Tim Davie isn’t so worried about that.

Instead, he floated a more worrying vision of the future this morning where “people don’t care” about the nation’s public broadcaster.

“We should not take people caring for granted,” he said. “Institutions are in big trouble if they assume engagement and there is any degree of talk [around them not caring]. We are absolutely the classic patriarchal broadcast organization. The worry is a mainstream weaponization where people don’t care.”

Davie said he is fine with the BBC making headlines, which he described as “one of the joys of our free press… let’ celebrate the fact people care.”

“Neighbors talk to me about what’s going on and who’s going to host Match of the Day, and lots more” added Davie. “But it’s the 10 people on the other side of the room who don’t care that I’m worrying about.”

Davie also issued a plea for a new BBC funding mechanism to “protect national IP” and end an era of “begrudging, grinding cuts.”

As charter renewal in 2027 and the possible end of the license fee draws ever close, Davie told the conference today that “if we drift the way we are now we will be in a crisis” and so quick decisions are required.

He was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Media & Telecoms 2025 and Beyond Conference after Sky boss Dana Strong and before Netflix EMEA chief Larry Tanz and UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy.
