BBC TO CUT UP TO 2,000 JOBS AMID INDUSTRY SHIFT
LOOK: BBC is preparing a significant workforce reduction, with plans to eliminate up to 2,000 positions over the next two years as it adapts to a rapidly evolving media environment.
In a message to staff, interim director-general Rhodri Talfan Davies said the organization expects total job numbers to decrease by around 1,800 to 2,000, as part of broader restructuring efforts.
The move reflects ongoing challenges faced by traditional broadcasters amid shifting audience habits and increasing digital competition.
