BBC to make hundreds of millions of pounds of cuts
The BBC aims to save around £600 million by 2029 due to declining licence fee income and rising costs amid competition from streaming services, officials said.
- The BBC is making cuts amounting to about 10% of its costs over the next three years due to "substantial financial pressures".
- The new cuts come on top of about £150m that must still be found by March 2028 as part of an existing savings programme.
- The announcement comes as the BBC negotiates with the government about its future, and that of the licence fee, ahead of the renewal of its royal charter at the end of 2027.
