Newly elected director general has expressed hope that British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has bright future and is even more important now. He expressed his view on the first day in the corporation office.
Tony Hall, the new director general has said BBC's role 'is even more important now' than when he first joined it 'many decades ago'.
He said the BBC was 'learning the lessons' from recent 'difficult times'.
Among the challenges Hall will be facing is a dispute over jobs and budget cuts.
Admitting the 'very real sense of the responsibility that comes with the role', he said he would enable staff 'to do the best work of your lives'.
He also pledged to 'remove the distractions that get in the way of that ambition', the report said.
It is noted that Lord Hall returns to the corporation in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal, which led to the resignation of his predecessor George Entwistle, the BBC reports.
Lord Hall added that in the coming weeks, he would set out his plans for shaping the future of the BBC as it moves towards its centenary in 2022.
