Jobs fear as BBC online services cut

Jobs will be lost and websites closed at BBC Scotland following the corporation’s decision to shrink its online services.

In total, the BBC will cut around 360 jobs and close hundreds of websites as part of a planned series of cuts to its online presence, it was announced yesterday.

Overall, the corporation is cutting its online budget by 25% from £137 million to £103m by 2013/14.
