The Trust will close on Sunday April 2.
It will be for the new ±«Óătv Board to produce the next ±«Óătv Annual Report, once a full set of audited data is available.
Rona Fairhead, Chairman of the ±«Óătv Trust, said:
"The Trust's priority in 2016/17 was to ensure that the voice of the ±«Óătv's audiences was heard loud and clear in the Charter negotiations. We believe that the new Charter should deliver what they want - a ±«Óătv that is able to be confident, innovative, distinctive and creatively ambitious.
No one should underestimate the challenges that the organisation faces in the next few years – to find the necessary cost savings; to maintain its relevance with all sections of society and to invest in digital and personalised content while also sustaining the traditional services that the public love.
The ±«Óătv’s performance in 2016 gives us considerable confidence in its capacity to meet those future challenges, and 95% of adults use the ±«Óătv’s television, radio or online services each week – an extraordinary achievement in a world where choice has proliferated enormously over the past two decades.
It has been a privilege to chair the ±«Óătv Trust and to work with Tony Hall and his team at the ±«Óătv. I wish Sir David Clementi and his new Board continued success.”
