In some situations staff in some areas will work on projects where the funding for those projects does not come from the licence fee but from another source like BBC Worldwide, or a joint venture like Freesat. I was interviewed for one such role myself a few years ago - funded by BBC Worldwide however the employer was the standard BBC. That particular job was based mostly on international video on the News and Sports websites. I can't speak for Graham's role obviously. > yessss, that's true, but that's not what it's remit _is_. > it *regulates* the broadcast industry to ensure that it is > operating *in the interests of citizens*. that's part of the > legal framework which permits it to exist, and was reinforced > quite strongly in the statement released the other day. Part of that role includes a role inherited from the ITC - broadcast licencing. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
