BBC to cut 2,000 jobs

BBC to cut 2,000 jobs

Interim Director-General Rhodri Talfan Davies informed staff of the 'savage' cuts during a company-wide briefing on Wednesday.

The corporation cited rising inflation and a decline in license fee revenue as primary drivers for the restructuring.

These job losses mark the largest redundancy drive at the BBC in fifteen years.

Union representatives have condemned the move, arguing that it will severely impact the quality of public broadcasting and staff morale.
