Cuts are announced and it will affect BBC Local news division.
A long-expected plan was unveiled in the past hour for bringing local radio within the BBC’s digital-led strategy that will see 48 redundancies – a total reduction of 2% – along with the cancellation of a number of shows. The BBC will, however, create 11 investigative reporting teams across the country to “analyze local issues,” it said.

Local TV news programs in Oxford and Cambridge will close and there will be more sharing of programs as radio, TV and online are brought together, with 18 afternoon shows after 2pm shared across multiple stations and 10 shows between 6pm-10pm shared including an All England program. The latter comes as current affairs TV show We Are England comes to an end after just one year.
