BBC TO REDEPLOY CONTENT SPEND

Broadcast reports that the BBC intends to redeploy £400m in content spend, in the wake of the "Putting Quality First" strategic review proposals.

The money will be freed up from axing programmes which don't fit five content priorities determined in the 79-page document: "The best journalism in the world", "Inspiring knowledge, music and culture", "Ambitious UK drama and comedy", "Outstanding children’s content" and "Events that bring communities and the nation together".

The Corporation refuses to identify which programmes could be axed. Property, food and makeover series are among the possibilities evoked.
