      Didn’t they already cut a lot of roles a few years back, which is why BBC News (the channel) is pretty bad now?

      one of the main things the BBC Should be doing (Technically unbiased beholden to no shareholders information) they are going to cut.

      I fully expect the BBC to blame this on people choosing to watch TV without a license

      Probably using AI to write the news articles now, lol we’ll be getting AI hallucinations fake news on the HR daily from unreviewed slop is my guess.

      Good, there’s a reporter for every subject, wouldn’t be surprised if they had a European paper clip reporter

      It’s sad to see such a valued institution being reduced due to funding shortages.

      Yeah, we don’t want good quality, accurate news reporting.
      Just more opinion from people like Kuenssberg, otherwise Reform Ltd. won’t get elected.

      Okay, but what else is the BBC valuable for if not providing the news? Doctor Who?

      Maybe cut some of the other shit then? Given news is an essential service

      News? They haven’t been news for years… there’s simply a propaganda machine. The thing is, I can literally prove this with the number of complete that have gone in about legitimate things, that should have been removed, and they haven’t removed them, because it’s not in their interest. the number of things that’s should have been removed because it breaches their official guidelines, but they’ve left them up because it’s in their interest…

      Yeah… BBC ≠ news

      BBC News is already a shadow of its former self: homogenised content stuffed with trailers and promos to cover the ad breaks outside the UK.

      And now, it’s going to be a shadow of a shadow. Sad times.

      The BBC use to be a monopoly (save for Radio Luxembourg), then part of a small cartel with ITV and Channels 4 and 5. Now there are hundreds of radio and tv stations and infinite programs on Youtube Netflix etc. Like newspapers it’s struggling against the tide.

      I think the “World Service” is very important( and maybe Radio 3), but the rest of it is little different to other providers. I don’t even think it acts as an industry standard or model anymore.

      So sadly it’s in inevitable decline along with books CDs and Dvds and high street shopping.

      Radio five is the worse. Nothing noted that a childish talk show now. Glad I stopped paying.

      Honestly BBC News content is very poor now so not sure how this is going to impact. It’s so homogenised; every article title seems to include a vague quote from the article, the leading image is always the same style of picture (the person in the story, usually frowning) and articles lack any depth or substance. Just very quick blocks of text barely challenging anything in the article or offering any contradicting viewpoints.

      On top of that, they seem to be trying to push the “culture” section everywhere and it is barely news at the best of times. It really feels like they need to refocus, you can see their most read list barely ever aligns with what they have front and centre of the site.

      Then there are the constant spelling and grammatical mistakes on every article, that should be embarrassing to be honest for a news organisation.

      The local sections of the site for smaller geographical areas are almost completely pointless now.
