New BBC Boss Matt Brittin Faces MPs on Licence Fee and Fresh Scandals

Matt Brittin, a longtime Google executive and former Olympic rower, has taken the helm of the BBC as director-general after several high-profile candidates, including Apple's European creative director Jay Hunt, reportedly turned down the role. He faced questions from MPs covering the future of the licence fee model and a series of fresh scandals at the corporation. The position had been described as a "poisoned chalice" in British media circles.
