Well, I'm "broadly" in favour of the BBC's plans, but I am also of the opinion that closing Radio 6 Music is a damn fool thing to do, as it specifically targets several of the BBC's strategic points, specifically that its audience is not catered for by any commercial station, nor will it be. I'm also very much opposed to reducing the size of the BBC's online operation, but I'm still "broadly in favour" If something has to be shut down (and I am not convinced this is the case) then 1Xtra and BBC3 would be prime candidates in my view. And losing Jonathan Ross, say, pays for at least one digital station all on its own. The trouble with a question like "are you broadly in favour" is that it's really too broad to give you much useful information, and what it does give has to be understood in context. Thankfully your other questions provide some of this. The question on the size of the BBC overall yields an interesting result, in fact, that could be read as being slightly at odds with the "broadly in favour" question. Looking more broadly at the strategic review, one might suggest that what the BBC is fundamentally up to here is a restructuring to move successfully from an era of digital terrestrial expansion to one more focused on possible future distribution via the internet and on-demand. In the light of which, perhaps closing a bunch of weird web sub-sites might make sense, while laying off a bunch of on-line staff probably does not. However another element in the proposals does seem to represent a bowing to political pressures, mainly from the Tories and their media mogul master(s), and the very fact that the BBC is offering to make voluntary cuts sets a bad precedent in my view. Just as funding digital switchover by skimming the licence fee set a precedent to skim it for other purposes, so voluntary cuts send an unfortunate message. Most people want to see the BBC remain about the same size, and I want to see it rearrange its resources to better address the online age. That does not mean or require the Corporation to be smaller. I'd recommend anyone who is prepared to take the time to do so to make their views known via the online consultation questionnaire at https://consultations.external.bbc.co.uk/departments/bbc/bbc-strategy-review/consultation/consult_view - my own comments to the questionnaire are here: http://brideswell.com/content/technology/time-to-start-work-to-save-the-bbc/

What about the results to the poll questions on the BBC's programming? There was a good question on what elements the BBC should emphasise, e.g. news, documentaries, educational, good quality drama, high-rating drama (maximum of 3) - do we get to see what the results were?

One problem I had with the survey was the question on the size of the BBC. One option was "I would like to see the BBC privatised or shut down" - I would support the former but not the latter, and in any case privatisation is a seperate issue from the size of the corporation.

I agree with Richard on most of his points, answering the first question was like answering "Have you ever tried heroin or chicken?"

That's a mold-breaker. Great thikning!
