Conclusion
The BBC explained that it considered a range of factors when deciding which TV and radio outputs to close. This included factors such as: a. The reach and share of different markets. b. The digital maturity of different markets – for example some places such as Afghanistan have a low level of digital maturity and therefore it is important to continue to provide radio services. 38 Q 13 39 Q 5 40 Q 13 41 Q 14 42 C&AG’s Report, para 1.16 43 C&AG’s Report, para 2.3-2.6 44 C&AG’s Report, paras 2.14, 3.2 14 c.
