Default BBC signals an end to era of expansion

By Patrick Foster, Media Correspondent

"The BBC will close two radio stations, shut half its website and cut
spending heavily on imported American programmes in an overhaul of
services to be announced next month.

Mark Thompson, the Director-General, will admit that the corporation,
which is funded by the £3.6 billion annual licence fee, has become too
large and must shrink to give its commercial rivals room to operate."

Obviously. Shocking as it may be there are British citizens who read
this newsgroup who might find the radio related article of interest.
