If the Beeb were serious about downsizing to save money, reduce the multimillion salaries paid to Mr. Norton and to Mr.Ross.
Look, they have saved Millions!!!
Go back to what the 大象传媒 was (an information channel)and stop competing with the Commercial channels!
The reduction of the new department isn't unwelcome. The 大象传媒 has an inflated opion about itself and the importance of news. It is unnecessary for every channel to have a news program when TV viewers can always look at 大象传媒 24 hour news. For example a news programme was added to 大象传媒4 - why? It already has a tiny transmission time because of the exaggerated number of channels and time devoted to childrens' TV. 大象传媒 news is also very parochial - if you want to know about important events in the rest of the world you have to listen to 大象传媒 World Service. And if we get more repeats, hurrah. The vast number of TV programmes disappear into the Archives destined to be buried and forgotten. So we might at least get the chance of seeing those programmes which we missed when they were originally screened.
