Capital boss attacks Radio 1 chart show.

Capital Radio chief David Mansfield has called for Radio 1 to drop its chart show and focus more on public service broadcasting, writes Conor Dignam.Mansfield told Broadcast that the corporation's weekly top 40 rundown was a waste of the licence fee as the service was already well provided by the commercial sector. "What is the point of the BBC playing out a chart show on a Sunday night - which you and I are paying for through licence fee taxation - when the listeners can get one for free?"He added that Ofcom should have wider powers over BBC radio and its public service remit, saying: "The BBC is unregulated and it isn't accountable.Quite simply no level playing field exists between commercial radio and the BBC."We need to ask what is the purpose of the BBC? It should be doing things that are complementary to the commercial sector - not competing head on."If you pick up the BBC's annual report it reads like a Plc report - they bonus their people on big numbers. They are all incentivised to increase audiences."Interview, page 18.
