| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “You have to have dwell time.” | 6 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “So that counts as having engaged with the BBC once a week. Would another individual, who was a regular listener to World Service news, count the same?” | 27 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “I do not want to cut you short, Tim, but I am conscious that we are short of time. Reach is one measure. People might say that the better measure is share, and specifically share not just overall in the world but among young people. In a lot of the countries that we are talking about, young people are the majority of p…” | 90 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “Got it.” | 2 |

| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “Okay. Thank you.” | 3 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “Okay. I am not sure that I quite followed that answer in its full majesty. I am trying to understand. There has been this huge increase in audience, and you would expect—with the growth of social media, YouTube and all the rest of it—that people are going to be exposed, or can be exposed, to a much wider range of media…” | 95 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “So there is a sliding scale. You have an amazingly valuable asset that only maintains its value by being used. I would suggest that, for the long-term benefit to UK plc and the world, you have to maintain that brand equity. The swings in audience reach over a 10-year period that you were talking about are enormous—some…” | 101 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “Is the simple answer to my question “yes”?” | 8 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “You are advertising—” | 3 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “Yes, but in a broader sense we know that RT and Sputnik have been growing. They buy share. We know that CGTN buys share. The fact that you may be reaching more people for a minute a week on social media, interspersed with other things, is a good thing but it doesn’t tell us we’re winning any battle.” | 58 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “I have one last question. I suspect that the value of the World Service to this country and to freedom and peace around the world is huge. How do you prove it? Do you feel you have compelling metrics that can demonstrate it not just to the FCDO but more broadly to the western alliance? We are in a new geopolitical phas…” | 84 |
| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “It is worth saying those figures out loud again, if you don’t mind. Could you tell us again the trust figure, in the Chinese state broadcaster—” | 26 |

| 8 Jan 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1299) “I want to go back to metrics and KPIs in a moment, but can I ask about the digital-first approach first?
