A provisional approval from the BBC Trust?

We were hoping there’d be some news from the BBC Trust on Friday about their decision regarding Project Canvas. The Trust had a regular, scheduled meeting on Thursday, and in the past updates on the initiative have also tended to be right at the end of the week.

Friday came and went with no news, however this morning both the FT and The Guardian are reporting from “sources” that the BBC Trust is about to / has already approved Project Canvas.

The FT article is here, and says the project has gotten Trust approval, with some minor conditions.

The Guardian article is here, and says the project is being approved now, with some significant conditions.

Not surprisingly, the official Canvas site and twitter feed are staying quiet for now.

A reminder too about our Twitter feed - @ProjectCanvasUK - where we’ll often post links/articles link the ones above quicker than a blog post here.

Update - 13.00: PaidContent UK says the BBC Trust will publish their provisional conclusions on their site at 10am Tuesday (22nd).
