I was being flippant/sarcastic .......

 

The reason for the cutbacks is the same as any other businesses - RECESSION.

 

See this doc from late 2011: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15186116 and this article from last month: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21977108

 

But they have an operating surplus, so why cutbacks? No recession there, unless government is slashing broadcating budget (if there even is such a thing).

from the article: "The BBC imposed 20% budget cuts after the freezing of the licence fee and new obligations to pay for the BBC World Service and the Welsh fourth channel S4C."

Ach well, at least Doctor Who is back on, it's about the only thing I use the BBC for aside from checking their website from time to time. I honestly don't think I'd notice that much if they stopped operating all but the current affairs/news side of things tomorrow.

The BBC charter does not cover an Independant Scotland its funding is purely UK

 

So the Nationalist won't presumably be worried about BBC coverage

The BBC is purely a UK based funded organisation

No BBC in the South of Ireland which was a former member of the UK
