The strategy of reducing BBC expenses with GBP 800 million involves discharging about 15% of BBC Radio employees by 2017. The reorganisation of BBC began in 2012.
In the process, BBC Radio will be reorganised into two subdivisions. The first subdivision will include Radio 4, 4 Extra, Radio 3 and BBC Proms, and the second subdivision – Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, Asian Network and 6 Music.
The company’s administration also intends to have more collaboration between BBC radios, which have separate management, thus improving the managerial and organisational activity of the entire company.
Decision on reorganisation of BBC Radio involves savings of about GBP 38 million by 2016/17.
