BBC launch new diversity drive

The BBC is spearheading a new initiative to raise the numbers of Black and minority ethnic (BME) people across four areas including high profile channels such as Radio 1.

The BBC participates in the Cultural Diversity Network (CDN) which seeks to change broadcasting by more accurately reflecting our multicultural society.
