The Tories aren't talking about dismantling the BBC although I guess they are generally percieved of being less supportive of them than Labour, for example.

The two Tory proposals I am aware of that may affect the BBC are to consider using a part of the license fee to subsidise local news or community channels. This could reduce the BBCs inclome a bit (but let's be fair it has a substantial inclome!). The second is the putting in place of an independant regulator for some aspects of the service. As the BBC already has a governing body, I'm not entirely sure what the effect of this would be. I suspect that they are hoping to put in place a group that would be more pro-Tory and champion their claims of bias at the BBC. Quite honestly I would expect an independant media to be slightly critical of the government in power and I think the BBC has been this to the Labour government and hope to see them continue to be the same to the next government.

It seems particularly odd that the Tories would effectively be putting in place an extra quango when they make so much fuss about reducing bureaucracy but who am I to point this out to them?
