You spoke. We listened. We've published the results of our biggest ever listening exercise - which shows resounding support for our continuing mission to inform, educate and entertain. The Our BBC, Our Future questionnaire, launched in March this year, received 872,701 responses, with people from across the UK sharing their views on the organisation and its future. The results will play a central part of our planning for the future, now that the Charter Review process with government is underway. They show people demonstrated support for a BBC that plays a critical role for the UK, with 83% of respondents saying it is important that the BBC’s core mission to inform, educate and entertain continues. "We have had such an incredible response to this questionnaire, which shows just how much people care about the BBC. I want to thank everyone who took part and shared their views with us" says Tim Davie, BBC Director-General. "I strongly believe the BBC has never been more needed, both in the UK and around the world. The results of the questionnaire are clear – our audience wants an independent BBC, delivering high-quality programmes and content that they can trust; that tells the stories that matter to them and that reflect their lives. "We are here to deliver for audiences across the UK and we will be taking everything they have told us with us as we shape the future of the BBC."
