When have you ever looked at the BBC Boscox?
BBC News has announced a restructure to include £500m of cuts, which will see Newsnight reformatted. There will also be nine fewer hours of single documentaries commissioned for BBC Two.
The BBC is proposing the closure of a number of roles across Newsnight’s reporting, production and operational functions.
Newsnight will remain as a nightly BBC Two TV programme from Mondays to Fridays, and will become a 30 minute interview, debate and discussion show.
With the flat Licence Fee settlement and the impact of inflation, the BBC needs to make £500m of savings.
As it shifts towards more digital coverage, BBC News will also increase its streaming offer on BBC iPlayer and the BBC News app and bring more in-depth, analytical, and high-impact reporting to its online audiences.
A new BBC News Investigations unit will be created, and areas such as BBC Verify will be boosted, with new reporting and production roles.
Pointing to changing news consumption habits, with linear TV audiences declining by 11% over the last five years, and the BBC is to invest in online news to respond to this.
Research shows audiences particularly value online breaking news, high-impact investigations, and forensic verification.
Several countries, particularly in Europe and East Asia, have a TV license fee or a similar public broadcasting fund, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, and Japan. Other countries like Austria, Greece, and Portugal also have a TV license, which may be collected through different methods such as the electricity bill.
The standard annual UK TV licence fee is £174.50 for colour sets, which rose by £5 on April 1, 2025. A black and white licence costs £58.50. You need a licence if you watch or record live TV or use BBC iPlayer on any device. Discounts are available for those who are blind or severely sight impaired, and free licences are available for those aged 75 or over who receive Pension Credit.
Cost
PBS is primarily funded by a mix of private donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations, along with dues from its member stations. Although it previously received federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, this source of funding was eliminated in July 2025, meaning a smaller portion of its budget now comes directly from the government via local stations. trump cancelled that has he? Who saw that coming.
Where do you get your propaganda and russian news from Boscox, Xshit and truth social - which is probably in russian.
