Is web-only TV future a turn-off for public?
Sunday Express
|June 08, 2025
A WAR of words has broken out between the BBC Director-General and his predecessor over proposals to turn off traditional TV services such as Freeview.
Tony Hall, head of the BBC for seven years, condemned plans to force every viewer to switch to internet services, saying it would leave millions unable to watch their favourite shows.
He spoke out after current DG Tim Davie urged the Government to press ahead with axing terrestrial broadcasts and switch entirely to online services such as BBC iPlayer, known as Internet Protocol (IP) TV.
Current legislation means terrestrial TV is safe until 2034 but the Government is holding a consultation about whether to end it after that. Critics say the public has been kept in the dark about the implications.
