The Board of Directors of Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has appointed Dr Meenakshi Gopinath, Pallavi Joshi and Dipa Dixit as new Members of Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC). They replace Sharmila Tagore, Arundhati Nag and Dr Ira Bhaskar, whose terms at the Council have ended. Sharmila Tagore has, however, been elevated as a Special Invitee to BCCC.

BCCC, an independent and autonomous self-regulatory body for non-news general entertainment channels in the country, was set up in 2011. It has, by now, addressed thousands of television content complaints in all Indian languages and English over the 89 meetings it has conducted.

Tara Murali, an expert on Tamil content, is the other Special Invitee to the 13-member Council, chaired by former Supreme Court Judge, Justice Vikramajit Sen. Former I&B Secretary Uday Kumar Varma, is another Member of BCCC.
