Original title :
BBC News to Cut 450 jobs

Yes bound to happen.


Was just on SkyNewsHD newsflash

[BBC News’ Director, News & Current Affairs, Fran Unsworth,
is leading a meeting explaining the ‘modernisation’
of the BBC to around 130 employees in the room,
and many more elsewhere watching on an internal live stream.
She has announced 450 job losses…
The major restructuring will focus on pooling
resources into “multi-skilled story teams”,
instead of the current farce of the BBC
sending multiple news crews to the same event
to cover it for different programmes.
At major events such as party conferences
sometimes the bloated BBC contingent
is as numerous as all the rest of the media combined.
It is bonkers that individual programmes have their
own economics, science, and tech presenters
when they are only occasionally used…
The BBC is belatedly and brutally making the
decisions it would have have been forced
to make a long time ago if it were
run like a for-proft company.
The way to avoid big ruptures like this
in the future is to move
to a sustainable subscription-based model…]

Might as well.
The same news on a loop all day, with any amount of different faces presenting it.

That vile Victoria Derbyshire woman is having or has had her show axed I believe.

Good riddence.

Yes but that's only 10 staff
This is a bigger clean out.


Radio 5
is losing many workers
that they no longer need
as one BBC reporter can supply everyone
in every party of the BBC.

BBCnewsHD went through all the changes
with their Media Reporter,
(he was the Editor of the Independent Newspaper)

Excellent show... bit anti establishment in parts... That's why she's gone.

No she is gone because
her show cost to much to do.

Fran gave great respect to Victoria.

If they cut some of the big salaries they could save some of these jobs

They have Cut some
but now this must be done


The BBC News only needs one smart dressed
reporter for all TV and all radio news on the BBC

They are Bloated,
and Fran , knows that

A bit of Sargon for you, enjoy.

the good news is that they are not phasing out the red button

Yes they were planing that
but the good bbc tech team showed
it does not cost that much.

I really like Victoria Derbyshire. What a shame... the BBC needs a cull of overpaid executives.

Radio 4
Editor Sarah Sands
is to leave the BBC.

Some will Jump
before pushed by Director of BBC news Fran.

Any news of any men going yet? They'd save a lot more money....

Re-used old thread.

if BBC will have to get ad breaks, ew not gonna be long until they will be gone for good then

no one wants irrelevant and annoying ad breaks

Mixed model would be best - ads on live telly, offer an ad-free iPlayer (content available straight after it airs) for a subscription fee.

Live ad-funded telly is in its final days anyway.

And as they could offer iPlayer globally, I think they'd do well enough to be honest.
