The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said on April 15 that it will cut up to 2,000 jobs as part of a sweeping effort to reduce costs by roughly 10 percent, amounting to about 500 million pounds ($677 million), over the next two years.
The announcement was delivered to staff during an internal call, marking one of the broadcaster’s most significant restructuring efforts in recent years. According to interim director-general Rhodri Talfan Davies, the move is intended to address mounting financial strain from inflation, pressure on the license fee, and broader economic uncertainty.
