Even Tech Team moving to Scotland.
Thats crazy. Not announced today by the sneaky CEO all the Big Job Cuts. https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...outside-london [The BBC has pledged to relocate 400 jobs outside London, as it faces a battle to secure a future funding settlement from a government that wants to redistribute spending around of the UK. The corporation’s director general, Tim Davie, announced the changes to staff on Thursday morning, saying the corporation had to prove its value to audiences across the UK by producing programmes closer to where they lived and spending more money outside the capital. Among the changes are: Specialist journalism teams covering topics such as the environment, technology, and education will be relocated from London to new bases in Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Birmingham. Daytime programmes on Radio 1, Radio 2, and 1Xtra will be hosted from elsewhere in the UK. The BBC will launch two new long-running drama series to represent life outside the capital, one set in the north of England and one in a devolved nation. Radio 3’s leadership team will move to Salford, with most of 6 Music’s staff to follow. A third of Radio 4’s Today programme episodes will be co-presented from outside London, with Newsnight and Radio 4’s PM also moved outside the capital on a regular basis. The corporation has pledged to increase the proportion of its television budget spent outside London from 50% to 60% by 2028. One of the biggest challenges for the BBC will be convincing existing big-name presenters and top executives to move to the new locations, rather than simply commuting from London. The BBC confirmed that all of the corporation’s existing London-based executive board members are expected to remain based in the capital.] Last edited by arista; 18-03-2021 at 12:33 PM. |

i think its the best move to come out of the BBC in years. there is absolutely no reason for it to be london centric. More regional input can only be a good thing and differentiates it from other channels
