BBC to axe 360 jobs as it scales down website - Online, Media - The Independent
There was a review of BBC services two years ago and I said this at the time in a letter. The problem is, as has been pointed out, that the BBC has lost focus of what it actually is.

First and foremost, it is the premier broadcaster in the UK and one of the major players worldwide so what is it doing even considering a social networking aspect of its web content? Much of the old Red Button services were of little interest to anyone and have now been trimmed back but there are also scores of other non-programme activities which have nothing to do with broadcasting. Get rid, start concentrating on making the vast archives available and trimming the box-ticking half efforts across the board.

Lord Reith will be spinning in his grave.
