| MUMBAI: BBC Vision director Jana Bennett has announced that investment in children‘s programmes would be increased by at least ?25million across the next three years. |
She made the announcement during a speech delivered at the BBC Vision Forum, an annual event for in-house and independent programme makers focussing on BBC Vision‘s creative and business priorities. Bennett said, “In response to a firm recommendation from the BBC Trust that we should strengthen our role as the cornerstone of home-produced children‘s output in the UK, I‘m pleased to say that we‘ve identified more funding for Children‘s – at least ?25 million over three years – which we‘ll be formally discussing with the Trust. The Children‘s and Drama investment has been achieved through re-prioritisation across BBC Vision and by re-investing efficiencies that have already been made. |
