The Trust conducted a review of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 7 which included a public consultation to understand what audiences like or dislike about these services and what the ´óÏó´«Ã½ should do to improve them. The Trust has published its conclusions on the review.

The Trust's findings

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trust has given approval to the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s involvement in Project Canvas, subject to a number of conditions.

Project Canvas is a joint venture between the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and six other partners to develop and promote a common standard that will allow viewers with a broadband connection to watch on-demand services and other internet content as well as ordinary TV content through their television sets.

The Trust has reached its decision after a rigorous process of assessment, including three conclusions.

The Audience Council represented the views of local audiences to the Trust throughout the assessment process, noting potential audience benefits as well as important considerations for both consumers and content suppliers. The Council made three submissions to the Trust.

The Trust conducted a review of ´óÏó´«Ã½ One, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Four. It carried out a public consultation to understand what audiences like or dislike about these services and what the ´óÏó´«Ã½ should do to improve them. The Trust published its interim findings in July 2010 and its final conclusions in November 2010.
