BBC to cut 2,900 jobs
LONDON,
DEC. 7.
The BBC today said it would cut about 2,900 jobs, more than 10 per cent of its workforce, as part of "transformation'' of the world's biggest public broadcaster aimed at saving 320 million pounds a year.
Most jobs would be cut from the administrative departments, the BBC Director, General Mark Thompson, was quoted on BBC's website as saying.
He said the savings were needed so that more of the licence fee could be put into programmes.
Some 1,800 workers, including staff of BBC's 24-hour radio news channel and two children's channels, would be moved from London to Manchester in the next five years, he said. — PTI
