BBC flooded with complaints over Prince Philip death coverage

Within six hours of Prince Philip's death being announced the BBC had received so many complaints about its wall-to-wall coverage of the news that it opened a dedicated complaints form on its website, as television viewers turned off and went elsewhere. Even cricket fans on the BBC website coverage found their source of information cut off, with the corporation's county championship liveblog shut down immediately after Philip's death was announced - even as play continued across the country. - www.theguardian.com

What does the arrival of GB News really mean for the UK?

Instead, the smart money was on an as-yet-untitled rival conservative video news service from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, led by the former CBS and Fox News executive David Rhodes. No wonder GB News is cautious of aping it it's worth an enviable 17.5 billion, dwarfing the market GB News is playing in, but subscriptions dropped off 7.3 per cent last year as the pandemic accelerated a decade-long decline in traditional viewership. - www.msn.com

BBC to slash BBC Four shows but stops short of axing channel

The BBC today said it will slash original programming on BBC Four as part of a wider effort to cut costs, though it stopped short of axing the channel altogether. In its annual plan published today, the broadcaster said it would shift away from commissioning a high volume of lower cost shows for the channel. Instead, BBC Four will be used to house archive programmes from the corporation’s back catalogue. It will also continue to broadcast performances such as the Proms and BBC Young Dancer.
