Bectu: The union for creative ambition
New BBC cuts will hit not just jobs, but also the valued news content that the BBC provides, says Bectu
Responding to job losses in BBC News, Head of Bectu Philippa Childs said: “The planned restructure announced in BBC News today is very disappointing for everyone impacted. As has been the case with previous rounds of cuts, this comes as a result of a lower licence fee settlement and the savings the BBC needs to achieve.
Ofcom decision a missed opportunity to support economic development across the whole of the UK
Responding to Ofcom’s decision on a new broadcast licence for Channel 4, Head of Bectu Philippa Childs said: “While we welcome Ofcom’s requirement for Channel 4 to set out and report on commissioning strategies for each individual nation, its decision to stick to a 12% made outside of England quota from 2030 is incredibly disappointing.
