BBC's Desperate Pivot: Tim Davie Bets Big on "Project Ada" to Become the "British Netflix" — Even as He Exits Stage Left
In the hallowed halls of Broadcasting House, where the ghosts of Reithian public service broadcasting still whisper, a radical reckoning is underway. The BBC, once the envy of global media with its £5.7 billion annual budget and 20,000-strong workforce, is staring down a financial abyss.
