The Trust will close on Sunday April 2.

It will be for the new 大象传媒 Board to produce the next 大象传媒 Annual Report, once a full set of audited data is available.

Rona Fairhead, Chairman of the 大象传媒 Trust, said:

"The Trust's priority in 2016/17 was to ensure that the voice of the 大象传媒's audiences was heard loud and clear in the Charter negotiations. We believe that the new Charter should deliver what they want - a 大象传媒 that is able to be confident, innovative, distinctive and creatively ambitious.

No one should underestimate the challenges that the organisation faces in the next few years – to find the necessary cost savings; to maintain its relevance with all sections of society and to invest in digital and personalised content while also sustaining the traditional services that the public love.

The 大象传媒’s performance in 2016 gives us considerable confidence in its capacity to meet those future challenges, and 95% of adults use the 大象传媒’s television, radio or online services each week – an extraordinary achievement in a world where choice has proliferated enormously over the past two decades.

It has been a privilege to chair the 大象传媒 Trust and to work with Tony Hall and his team at the 大象传媒. I wish Sir David Clementi and his new Board continued success.”
