Ahhh, so that's the end of the BBC then. YouTube exec becomes DG.

My prediction? Shortly, the BBC loses its charter and becomes an IP license business, producing only nature documentaries and 24-hour news. iPlayer a nostalgia YouTube channel.
On the hit list will be local and national radio, with any good content / talent being harvested for monetized podcasts.
Children's programming will just evaporate.
Events sold to LiveNation. R&D gone.
