ABSTRACT A new BBC Charter and Agreement came into force at the beginning of 2017 and has introduced the most far-reaching reshaping of the broadcaster since it was constituted as a public corporation in 1927. The BBC’s programming and services must now demonstrate distinctiveness, it will be regulated externally by Ofcom, and its Board will be more directly accountable to Parliament and licence fee payers. In effecting these changes, the new policy reaffirms the continued importance of the BBC to audiences and the UK media industry. But, depending on how it is implemented, it has the potential seriously to threaten the BBC's autonomy and independence, and the very principles of public service media.

限制BBC：2016年宪章和解

摘要一项新的BBC宪章和协议于2017年初生效，并对该广播公司进行了自1927年成立为公众公司以来影响最深远的重塑。BBC的节目和服务现在必须表现出独特性，它将由Ofcom外部监管，其董事会将对议会和许可费支付者直接负责。在进行这些更改时，新政策重申了BBC对于受众和英国媒体行业的持续重要性。但是，根据其实施方式，它有可能严重威胁BBC的自治性和独立性以及公共服务媒体的基本原则。
