have to work through the detail, we anticipate the overall number of jobs will fall by 1,800-2,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The cuts were announced on screen on BBC rolling news on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The acting DG said in the statement to the AFP news agency that the redundancies were because the BBC faces &#8220;significant financial pressures, which we need to respond to at pace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The organisation has to cut \u00a3500 million (\u20ac575 million) from its operating costs of \u00a35 billion (\u20ac5.7 billion), with most of these savings required in 2027 and 2028, he said.<\/p>\n<p>It will be the biggest round of redundancies at the broadcasting corporation in almost 15 years, ITV News and The Press Association news agency reported.<\/p>\n<p>The job cuts come as the BBC faces a turbulent media landscape, affected by AI and changing consumer habits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in

Google executive Matt Brittin, is due to take over at the BBC next month, with his appointment announced as leading the corporation &#8220;through transformation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The BBC is funded by the public paying for a licence to view or listen to content. It says 94% of UK adults use its services every month.<\/p>\n<p>In a report in March, the BBC said its income from the licence fee had fallen 24% in real terms since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must reduce our total cost base by a further 10% by March 2029 due to licence fee headwinds and other pressures,&#8221; the report said, warning &#8220;tough choices may require cuts to content and

class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">The BBC said on Wednesday that it is set to cut up to 2,000 jobs in the next two years amid a challenging media landscape.The BBC&#8217;s interim director-general (DG) Rhodri Talfan Davies said in a statement to staff that &#8220;while we still have to work through the detail, we anticipate the overall number of jobs will fall by 1,800-2,000.&#8221;The cuts were announced on screen on BBC rolling news on Wednesday afternoon.The acting DG said in the statement to the AFP news agency that the redundancies were because the BBC faces &#8220;significant financial pressures, which we need to respond to at pace.&#8221;The organisation has to cut \u00a3500 million (\u20ac575 million) from its operating costs of \u00a35 billion (\u20ac5.7 billion), with most of these savings required in 2027 and 2028, he said.It will be the biggest round of redundancies at the broadcasting corporation in almost 15 years, ITV News and The Press Association news agency reported.The job cuts come as the BBC faces a turbulent media landscape, affected by AI and changing consumer habits.US President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion (\u20ac8.4 billion) defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster over a documentary that edited his 2021 speech ahead of the US Capitol riot, making it appear he explicitly urged supporters to attack the seat of Congress.A new director-general, former Google executive Matt Brittin, is due to take over at the BBC next month, with his appointment announced as leading the corporation &#8220;through transformation.&#8221;The BBC is funded by the public paying for a licence to view or listen to content. It says 94% of UK adults use its services every month.In a report in March, the BBC said its income from the licence fee had fallen 24% in real terms since 2017.&#8221;We must reduce our total cost base by a further 10% by March 2029 due to licence fee headwinds and other pressures,&#8221; the report said, warning &#8220;tough choices may require cuts to content and services.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/04\/15\/bbc-to-cut-up-to-2000-jobs-in-next-two-years-to-save-575ml-from-operating-costs&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/72\/35\/43\/1200x675_cmsv2_e821fe87-0d57-53af-9ca8-ae377b048c34-9723543.jpg&#8221;] Iran White House says discussing second round of Iran talks in Pakistan South Korea North Korea boosting ability to make nuclear weapons, IAEA chief says The Ring Magyar beats Orb\u00e1n &#8211; What&#8217;s next for the EU?
