Shortwave 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 shortwave ~ RHF

Two words: budget cuts. Across the board. DW and RN have the same
problem, as do most of the small European broadcasters, which are
shutting down SW operations entirely to save money. State funded
broadcasting in Europe is in big financial trouble as the governments
struggle to stay solvent and within EU budget specifications, which
require that budget deficits be no more than 3% of the budget. It's not
just the BBC, it's everybody.
