BBC to axe 2,000 jobs in largest restructuring in 15 years
In a historic shift, the BBC is poised to reduce its workforce by nearly 2,000 positions, marking its largest cut in a decade and a half.
This drastic step, which affects roughly 10% of its personnel, is in response to a £600 million budgetary initiative and dwindling licence fee revenues.
