Tim Davie says 14 years of reductions have put its future at risk, as he announces £200m of cuts
Cuts to the BBC’s budget by successive Conservative governments have been “shortsighted” and risked undermining its future, the director general said in a speech on Tuesday.
Announcing a further £200m of cuts to the corporation, Tim Davie said 14 years of cuts had reduced its budget by 30% in real terms and had “chipped away at our income over many years and have put serious pressure on our finances”.
