BBC to cut 1,000 hours of content as savings target jumps to £400 million
30.03.2023 - 15:34 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The BBC has announced that it is scrapping 1,000 hours of content as the corporation's savings target increased by 40 percent.
High inflation and a licence fee freeze has contributed to the target increasing to £400 million. In its Annual Plan published on Thursday (March 30), the broadcaster said it was responding by cutting 1,000 hours of content commissions across its portfolio, among other measures.
The BBC previously projected it needed to save £285 million by 2027/28 – the end of the current charter period. It comes on top of a £300 million reinvestment plan announced last May to “better position the BBC for an on-demand world”.

We will continue to manage our finances prudently.”
The broadcaster added: “While we recognise the licence fee is a privilege, this settlement continues to place significant financial challenges on the BBC at a time of high inflation and media super-inflation.”
The move comes after former culture secretary Nadine Dorries announced last year that the licence fee would be frozen at £159 for the next two years until April 2024 – equating to a real-terms cut in funding for the broadcaster. The BBC said all these factors had “led to an acceleration of plans to deliver the BBC’s public
