BBC's troubling times...


[Media Source*]

According to Reuters (see source link) the BBC has announced that it will be slashing 10 percent of its work force in order to trim down costs.

These blunders have brought them into the scopes of the British Government which is reviewing the BBC's 10 year charter as this determines how much money BBC will receive from the license fee.
