The BBC turns 100<\/a> on 24th October and, to celebrate, it will be broadcasting a range of special content for a week \u2013 including a Strictly Come Dancing episode featuring tunes from its most famous TV shows.<\/p>\n

Though the last 10 decades have yielded many triumphs for the broadcaster, they have also proved challenging as it adapts to the constantly changing media landscape and the Government\u2019s plans to scrap the licence fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, BBC director-general Tim Davie addressed these concerns and reassured offline viewers that they would not be left behind, while also bringing about change.<\/p>

\u201cTo anyone who fears we\u2019re leaving offline audiences behind, I can reassure them that, in 2021, of the 18 dramas broadcast in the UK that attracted more than 10 million viewers, 15 were on the BBC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo those who worry we\u2019re not moving quickly enough to meet the pace of digital change, we can point to more than 30 million iPlayer streams for shows like The Tourist<\/a>, Peaky Blinders<\/a> and The Apprentice<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davie also reiterated that \u201cwe will never underestimate the importance of our traditional stations and channels. Each is a creative powerhouse. Every day they demonstrate the value of careful curation in a content-saturated age.\u201d<\/p>\n
