3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Sorry, forgive me. The genesis was before covid. It was not deployed, but it was created around 2018 or 2017.

It was initiated before covid.

Can I ask Kate about “Tiny Happy People”? What went right, what went wrong? You might need to explain what it is, or was, first.

But there is no product for them, is there? There is on the radio, but there is not on telly. Do you think that that is a gap or you are happy with that, particularly in the mis- and disinformation world and the unique role that you play? It sounds like it sounds like you think that things are broadly okay.

Maybe the answer is that your research says that they do not need one, but what is the approach and why?

21

There is no product for them. There is “Newsbeat” on the radio, but what is the product for a 14, 15, 16 year-old?

Thank you. Patricia, do you think older children, particularly teenagers, are well served for news on television rather than radio?

Patricia, will there be a change in programming as a result of Vote 16?

If we can do these quite quickly, that would be great. Iain, if there is a ban on social media for under 16s, do you anticipate that having an effect on the BBC and, if so, what?

Thank you.

Although they do famously change their algorithms with no notice to anybody.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Do you think that disadvantages you in their recommender systems?

10
3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

I meant not taking the revenue sharing.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Sorry, I am speaking out of turn here, so I am trying to be as quick as possible. Just to check, everything you just said about YouTube, does that also apply to Meta and to TikTok?

36
3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Sorry, it was a rhetorical question.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

So, there is your half, but there is also their half. So if they are not getting any remuneration for showing your content, do you think that helps you in the algorithm?

32
3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Isn’t there another question as well? So what is it, 55:45?

I wanted to follow up very quickly on that question about ad revenue on YouTube. Obviously, people on YouTube are used to there being ads. Almost all content must have pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and so on. Do you consider you are not allowed to have revenue? The viewer has not gone to a BBC property. They have gone to

I am sorry to slightly press you. Does the data tell you anything? Is there a benefit or a disbenefit? In the olden days when someone watched an hour’s worth or an hour and a half’s worth or whatever it was, there was a variety. Does that matter?

Although you can still just binge on a single programme on iPlayer.
