According to the Guardian Online, Lord Patten is expected to be appointed as the next Chairman of the BBC Trust.

The Guardian online wrote:

Lord Patten's pitch to win the job of BBC Trust chairman was simple – give me the job and I will stand up to both the government of the day and the organisation itself, if necessary.

It was exactly what the culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, wanted to hear – evidence of strong-minded independence, which would allow him to say "this is not a political appointment" even though Patten is a former Conservative cabinet minister.


Apparently, the decision now rests with David Cameron who will decide next week.
