The cuts are being proposed as part of cost-saving measures across the BBC
The removal of BBC Radio Foyle's breakfast show and the loss of 35-40 posts are among the proposals being put forward by BBC NI in an effort to reduce costs.BBC NI confirmed to Belfast Live that the breakfast-time news programme on BBC Radio Foyle and Inside Business on BBC Radio Ulster could be affected by the changes.In a statement, BBC NI said it hopes the vast majority of job losses will be secured through voluntary redundancies.
Adam Smyth, Interim Director, BBC Northern Ireland, said: “These are challenging times and we face some difficult choices, none of which are easy. Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster, Stephen Nolan has said that staff at Radio Foyle have been told there are eight jobs at risk in the newsroom. "What we're seeing is the massive percentage cut to Radio Foyle - what they're doing here and they've tried to do this before, is gutting Radio Foyle to the point where it will become unsustainable.
