This story has, unsurprisingly, generated a lot of media interest.* A report in the Times (described as speculation and not entirely denied by the BBC) predicts that the result of a recent strategic review by the BBC will result in some classic retrenchment by the public-sector broadcaster.*
Non-core radio stations are tipped as candidates for closure and the BBC’s burgeoning web output is expected to be cut significantly.* Bad news for BBC listeners, viewers and readers perhaps (who, in the UK are licence fee payers of course).* But good news (and a source of many opportunities) for the private sector. Who, for example, will fill the gaps in the market if BBC 6 Music is closed?* Students might also question whether there really is a gap in the market!* A good introduction to the concept of retrenchment, and there are some strong stakeholder issues raised here too.
