BBC to cut entertainment and comedy but plans new Saturday night shows
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/nov/18/bbc-entertainment-comedy-tv-the-voice
The article explains that BBC need to make cuts in there industry and this would lead to the entertainment and comedy factor being cut to a £12m spending cut. The corporation would say that they they are using money to save as to making BBC better. The cuts are part of £150m in savings announced by Tony Hall earlier this year as the BBC tries to close the “iPlayer loophole” this would mean by the number of people who dont need a license fee if they are only catching up on programmes on-line. The corporation is expected to outline a further £550m in cuts next spring. as to the cuts as to making it better however the impact would be to minimise this problem to the viewers. This could also mean that the button interactive service will go as to web connected TVs and another would be BBC on-line losing 5% if uts £210m budget.
1.T he BBC said the next wave of cuts – resulting from the government’s decision to make it pay the cost of over-75s licence fees – were “likely to include broad service and major structural changes to how the BBC works”.
2.The Guardian reported on Tuesday that a ”significant chunk” of the savings - £35m - would come from a cut to spending on the rights to show minor sports such as athletics and darts.
3. News is relatively well protected, with the £5m amounting to less than 1% of spending on news across the corporation’s divisions.
In my opinion these cuts are going to make a problem for viewers as to minimising there entertainment on other days except for Saturday this would mean many ideas of the other days wouldnt not reall have any entertainment as they are cutting this. Another issue would be the red button and this would mean not getting the further information as to the reason the web browser you got on TV but this would be a problem as no everybody has this.
