Broadcaster must prove itself to viewers more used to
Netflix and YouTube, says watchdog
The
BBC is at risk of losing a generation of younger viewers who have drifted away to services such as Netflix and YouTube, potentially putting the future of the licence fee at risk, according to the media regulator.
Ofcom said the corporation must do much more to make the case that the BBC is worth supporting to audiences who have grown up with
YouTube as their main source of video and who now instinctively turn to social media channels for news.
