Hit Squad

The important task at the BBC is to find out who is on the 80/20 committee. It is presumably being led by Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore, stepping back from Strictly over-supervision. But who else will join her to determine what stops, in radio, television and online ? 

This is the key para from Tim Davie's speech: "We are going to do something quite simple. We are going to look in all areas and identify how we can have more impact by making less. I want us to consider what we would do if we could only make 80% of our current hours. What would we stop? To be very clear, this is not about cuts to save money, it is about re-allocating funds to where they generate most value - to ensure that we make our output world-beating and utterly distinctive"

One presumes there's a ring-fence around commitments made to Ofcom; and similarly around provision for Welsh and Gaelic. And some other rules that keep orchestras and all that good stuff ? Anyone know ?
