Re: [backstage] a postive BBC news story - Matthew Postgate's appointment bodes well for a new BBC tech era

[Richard P Edwards]

I am truly pleased that Kingswood has had a reprieve.... hopefully  
many more areas of the BBC will be looked at as the public believe  
they are, as part of a great corporation, as opposed to being just  
another part to "wind down and sell".
With more clarity and better overall confidence within the staff -  
then all the questions over the validity of the license fee may begin  
to subside.
This is great news.
