Shirika la Utangazaji la BBC limesema wafanyakazi wake takriban 400 watapoteza kazi zao kama sehemu ya programu ya kupunguza gharama za uendeshaji na kuhamia katika majukwaa ya kidijitali
BBC, ambayo inaadhimisha miaka 100 Oktoba 2022, inafanya kazi katika lugha 40 duniani kote ikiwa na hadhira ya watu Milioni 364 kila wiki, imesema hatua hiyo ni kutokana na tabia ya watazamaji kubadilika na watu wengi zaidi walikuwa wakipata habari mtandaoni, pia changamoto za kiufadhili
………….
Nearly 400 staff at BBC World Service will lose their jobs as part of a cost-cutting programme and move to digital platforms, the broadcaster announced on Thursday.
The BBC said its international services needed to make savings of £28.5 million ($31 million) as part of wider reductions of £500 million.
In July it detailed plans to merge BBC World News television and its domestic UK equivalent into a single channel to launch in April next year.
BBC World Service currently operates in 40 languages around the world with a weekly audience of some 364 million people.
But the corporation said audience habits were changing and more people were accessing news online, which along with a freeze on BBC funding and increased operating costs meant a move to “digital-first” made financial sense.
“Today’s proposals entail a net total of around 382 post closures,” it said in an online statement.
Eleven language services — Azerbaijani, Brasil, Marathi, Mundo, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese — are already digital only.
Under the restructuring plans they will be joined by seven more: Chinese, Gujarati, Igbo, Indonesian, Pidgin, Urdu and Yoruba.
Radio services in Arabic, Persian, Kyrgyz, Hindi, Bengali, Chinese, Indonesian, Tamil and Urdu will stop, if the proposals are approved by staff and unions.
No language services will close, the broadcaster insisted, although some production will move out of London.
The Thai service will move to Bangkok, the Korean service to Seoul and the Bangla service to Dhaka.
