Bosses will meet the corporation’s governing body today to explain how to save £1.3billion over four years and in my mind because of these politically motivated cuts we will see a poorer, less educational and more dumbing down BBC and thats not a good thing especially with BSKYB and their bottomless pit full of money.

The cutbacks, drawn up after a six-year licence fee freeze, are likely to see BBC1 and BBC2 cease broadcasting at 1am. This has led to suggestions that it could see the return of the test card which for years was used when the BBC was off air

With those caveats, it seems that this part of the story is just another DM fiction.....
