Alarming, but not unexpected news from the BBC today
No channels to be cut, but there will be mostly repeats on BBC2 TV and They will also be looking at the BBC Orchestras.
Let us not wait for it to happen. We must make our views known now and drum up as much support as we can ─ by word of mouth, through our MPs and with signed petitions. The move to Salford, to which I drew attention recently, must be taken as a serious warning that swingeing cuts can be expected in all but the BBC news output, which is an ever present waste bucket; using four or five outside reporters (plus camera crew) when the job could usually be done by one person, standing in front of a backdrop of the location.
Am I being alarmist? Don't wait to find out too late that it is going to happen.
