I don't think it is at risk of destruction. It may be required to scale back its operations, but the BBC already acknowledges that some of its TV output may no longer be justifiable once digital switchover is complete, seeing as it was designed to drive digital take-up in the first place. BBC Three looks vulnerable, for example, as it is the most readily comparable to successful commercial alternatives like e4.

And, personally, I wouldn't believe any Labour politician who claims to know what the Tories 'plans' for the BBC are, just because they happened to tune in to the latest frothings of rent-a-quote fringe nutters like Daniel Hannan.
