BBC sets out plans for TV news channel merger in 2023
The channel will be called BBC News and will replace the corporation’s two existing news channels. …
I’ve been told that £4m will be reinvested in new “future-facing” plans, financed from the £12.5m being saved by merging the channels. Those include a live and breaking news team it’s believed will significantly increase the BBC’s capacity to offer breaking stories across all its platforms, including, crucially, BBC iPlayer.
