BBC to cut 1,000 hours of new TV programming in 2023 to save money
The BBC is to broadcast 1,000 fewer hours of new TV programmes this year as part of a drive to save money.
The broadcaster made about 12,500 "originated hours" in 2022.
Half of the 1,000-hour cut will come from sport, with fewer major events in 2023. Elsewhere, BBC Four is showing more material from the archives.
The BBC must find £400m in annual savings by 2027/28, according to the corporation's latest annual plan, which was published on Thursday.
