| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Do you have an active plan to grow that, to get it into more schools? Patricia it: As I said, moving it to be produced now by BBC News means that BBC News is supporting and promoting “Newsround” in a very different way than it did in the past, using its own news reporters, who have faces that are very well known, and l…” | 131 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Thank you all. I think a lot of people in this room were in Manchester the other week, so it is good to see you on home turf. If I am declaring an interest, I am a former member of staff in a section that does not exist anymore, the BBC Popular Music Library in the 1990s, which has probably been rationalised out of exi…” | 152 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “So that boosts that figure of 3.5 million.” | 8 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Yes, it is very associated with the old school assembly. Even in my day they would wheel in the enormous television on legs.” | 23 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “This report seems to show that public service broadcasting for kids is shrinking. ITV does not do it anymore.

| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “We went to ITN and saw something similar. It has a small programme, because if it is too long, you lose people’s attention. That is made by ITN.” | 28 |

| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Yes, across the corporation it is there, but not within children’s. But I am meant to be asking about “Newsround”.

| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I would not find a Smiths video, the equivalent of that, on any of your shows now? As I say, these people used to appear on mainstream kiddie programmes and that has gone. Am I right?” | 36 |
