Anonymous,

Short-wave is a 'small component' of the "Total" BBC Operation and
Budget.
.
Currently the BBC as an Organization is laying-off thousands of people
in TV Broadcasting and Domestic (UK) Programming so that they can have
the needed Financial Resources available within their Budget to Invest
in New Facilities and Improved Technologies for the Future of the BBC.
.
the changes at the bbc are much more then just short-wave ~ RHF


Correct observations. The re-structuring will affect both the
World (external) and Domestic (internal) operations of the BBC.
Both the people who watch and/or listen to the BBC are not
happy and feel that these actions by Management will dilute their
historic coverage of the news and programming as a whole.

The 2,050 job cuts - including 424 announced in
December - take total job losses at the BBC
to 3,780, saving £355m ($682 USD) a year.
The combined cuts amount to 19 percent of the
BBC work force.

family to watch the return of the Doctor," a BBC
spokesperson said.
