TV viewers will be wounded to learn that the BBC could axe some of the nation's favourite television shows including Casualty, The Apprentice and more after publishing a punitive response to a new government report.
The broadcasting organisation allegedly wants to become more distinctive in order to increase commercial advertising-funded rival income. But director of policy, James Heath, snapped back at the suggestions released by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
Heath listed the much-loved shows that could face the axe including Masterchef, Pointless, Countryfile, Silent Witness and The One Show amongst many more. So prepare to get your nightly thrills from the BBC news in the near future.
He went on to claim that it would be "impossible" to cut so many shows, considering they will need to make savings of £700m (€901m, $989m) over the next few years. Criticising the proposals in a blog post, Heath said: "The O&O report concludes that requiring BBC One to commit to a wider range and significant number of new titles in its schedule could reduce BBC One's audience share of viewing to below 20% (from 22% in 2015); and therefore might increase commercial advertising-funded rival income by £33 to £40m a year."
