BBC hints more cuts to come

The BBC Trust has published an independent report it had commissioned from the National Audit Office on the efficiency of radio production at the BBC.

Tim Davie, Director, BBC Audio and Music, said: "I welcome this report and am pleased it recognises the £86million we are already committed to saving. However, there are clearly opportunities to do more and I am determined to increase efficiency while maintaining the unparalleled quality of our programmes.”

He added, "We have a huge responsibility in managing licence fee income and I will ensure we are driving even harder bargains to deliver value for money for our audiences."
