Youngsters turning away from BBC

THE BBC should set out how it plans to attract younger viewers, a parliamentary report warned.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the BBC's mission to "serve all audiences" is at risk as younger age groups view content elsewhere, while it said the corporation's digital first strategy could risk older or less digitally connected audiences being left behind.

The publishing of the report today comes as the BBC has been hit by a series of scandals in recent months, leading up to the resignation of director-general Sir Tim Davie, who gave evidence to the PAC for the report.
