Cuts are on top of 450 previously announced, and are likely to hit Radio 4 and political shows
The
BBC has announced plans to cut a further 70 jobs from its news division, with Radio 4 and political programming expected to be badly hit.
Staff on shows such as Today, World at One and PM on Radio 4 are privately warning that audiences should expect less distinctive programmes, with more discussion of stories that have been covered across the rest of the BBC.
