I'm not sure who does Tim Davie's grid, but in the week of another big shove of the begging bowl in the faces of The Treasury, FCO and DCMS, BBC News is telling domestic staff who won't be needed beyond March 2025.
Tim thinks the taxpayer in general should fund World Service, to protect and even develop its journalism in areas where the Russians and Chinese are taking the lead. However, in domestic journalism, the licence fee payer can make do without local radio in the afternoons and weekends, without a Newsnight that reports as well as debates, and with a news website rich in "Well I never, some dashcam stuff..." and One Show clips. And then there's BBC Studios, funding US journalists in the USA..... Think it through, Tim.
