According to the director general of the BBC, Tony Hall, the corporation is going to change its ways and try to adapt to the shifting face of British politics. In his remarks, Mr. Hall stated that we need to “reconfigure our news coverage to meet the changing expectations of audiences across the UK.”

BBC is considering plans amid negotiations with the government ahead of charter renewal in 2016. BBC’s head, Hall, stated that “part of a more bespoke BBC is that we also propose to reconfigure our news coverage to meet the changing expectations of audiences across the UK.” He alleged that “as the pace of devolution quickens, we will need to adapt our services on television, online and radio to ensure that they fully reflect or are able to report the increasingly divergent politics of the UK.” Mr. Hall mentioned that “we will never give up our role in reporting the whole of the UK back to itself, but we also have to recognise that news in some parts of the country simply does not apply in others.

In his remarks, Mr. Halls pointed out that “we want to look at how, within existing resources, we might better configure the BBC’s news offering across the UK, and, by the way, how across the range of our services more broadly, we reflect the nations of the UK to the whole UK.” He promised that BBC would work more closely with the UK’s arts and science institutions to “make Britain the greatest cultural force in the world”.
