Director of BBC Global News Peter Horrocks said that the cuts follow a 16% cut in the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s grant for the World Service. “The Macedonian, Albanian and Serbian services will be axed, as will English for the Caribbean and Portuguese for Africa, in a bid to save £46m a year.
We need to focus our efforts in the languages where there is the greatest need and where we have the strongest impact,” he said.
The BBC World Service plans to cut 650 jobs, a quarter of its workforce. The majority of them will be cut this year, the rest next year.
