BBC Announces 500 Job Cuts to Save £200 Million

The broadcaster aims to streamline operations and enhance digital services amid financial pressures and changing media consumption habits.

BBC plans to reduce its workforce by 500 positions by March 2026.
The move is part of a broader effort to save £200 million and focus on digital transformation.
The broadcaster has already cut 2,000 jobs over the past five years.
BBC's financial deficit is projected to nearly double to £492 million by 2025.
Discussions with the government on long-term funding for public service broadcasting are ongoing.
