BBC to cut layers of management - Media - guardian.co.uk

Caroline Thomson said the 'complexity of the BBC' has long been an issue. She would not say how many jobs would be at risk, but with the BBC typically using eight and sometimes nine layers of management, the expectation is that some middle managers will lose their jobs or responsibilities as a result. In a sketchy briefing, Thomson offered no new information about any cost savings that would be immediately be noticed by viewers, saying that BBC was still considering proposals including dropping overnight programming, cutting sports spending and increasing repeats. - guardian.co.uk

Mr Hunt told MPs it was up to the BBC to make decisions about which services it invests in, but that he expected savings to come from efficiencies rather than core services. The Culture Secretary unveiled a deal in October with the BBC to freeze the licence fee for six years at 145.50, equivalent to a 16 budget cut in real terms. - independent.co.uk
