The BBC recently struck a deal with YouTube to release more kids programmes online first. IIRC, this came with a welcome increase in spending on children's shows. It's a key demographic that the BBC are keen to retain. Where does the new social media ban leave that plan? Dead in the water?

BBC Director General (in email):
“We will reduce commissioning spend across Content, News and Nations by around £80 million in 27-28 and review our broadcast TV channels and radio network portfolio as audiences move online.”
