BBC’s lesson to DD – shut unviable TV channels and prepare for digital era
MUMBAI: BBC is planning to close BBC Three as a broadcast TV channel in autumn 2015, a move that would save the UK pubcaster over £50 million a year. The BBC Trust will have to give its final approval. This is the first time in the BBC’s history that it is proposing to close a television channel. In an email to BBC staff, BBC DG Tony Hall said, “I can’t rule out it being the last change to our programmes or services.
It will save the BBC over £50 million a year. £30 million of that will go into drama on BBC One. And it also means we will extend Children’s programmes by an hour a night and provide a BBC One +1 channel. I must stress – all of this is what we are proposing to the BBC Trust. They will have the final say.”
