BBC director general Mark Thompson will announce a cut in its website pages by half, backed by a 25 per cent cut in staff and budget, said the paper. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/article7041944.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Without knowing what parts of the website are going to be culled, it's difficult to comment, but in my eyes, the BBC website in unsurpassed, and has probably been the site I've spent the most time on, whether I've been living in the UK or in Australia, so it's sad to here that's it's content if seemingly going to be halved, in an attempt to placate a future Conservative government.
