The BBC World Service is braced for the loss of up to a quarter of its budget, according to today’s Sunday Times. The newspaper says executives are planning for cuts of 18%-25% after Foreign Office officials indicated its £272m annual budget would be reduced from April next year. It quotes a World Service source as saying that the effect of a 25% cut would be “pretty much terminal”.
BBC sources say services such as BBC Arabic TV and BBC Persian TV are vulnerable because they cost a combined £34m per year. Minority language services are at risk, while the English services are likely to survive.
