6.9 BritBox & 'Project Kangaroo'
'Project Kangaroo' was set up in 2006 !!!

Not in 2016 as claimed in 6.9 BritBox - "In 2016, the BBC, in partnership with fellow UK Broadcasters ITV and Channel 4 (who later withdrew from the project), set up 'project kangaroo'"

RfC on sectioning of the Charter
I've been thinking about moving the section on the 'charter and agreement' up right below the lead, as the lead itself is very technical - almost a prosified list - and doesn't really get into what makes the BBC the institution it is. Expanding, or even changing, the lead doesn't seem like the right move to me, and an expanded section on the charter provides a structured way of underlining the stature of the BBC.

I am seeking consensus, because it's a bit bigger of a change to the article, and I've expanded the section already and might be biased towards it. The proposed sectioning would be:


 * Lead
 * Charter and Agreement
 * History

A State-Funded Media Outlet
Since BBC is funded with public money, does not this make it state-funded? Is not this a point that this acticle could highlight? 2.27.2.54 (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The very first sentence reads 'public service broadcaster', implying government funding. Also, 'state-media' carries a different implication regarding independence from the funding government than the large degree of independence the BBC enjoys. JackTheSecond (talk) 16:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * State media doesnt imply anything different than a media organization that receives money from the State. Stop defending globohomo. 2600:100F:B1B4:B03:0:37:C92C:7501 (talk) 07:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Last section. "In 2023, the BBC's offices in New Delhi were searched by officials from the Income Tax Department. The move came after the BBC released a documentary on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The documentary investigated Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, which resulted in more than 1,000 casualties."
