BBC Vision, the corporation’s TV and video content division, is to cut back on digital spending to protect its programme budget. Jana Bennett, the BBC Vision director, told a meeting of television producers that the corporation wants to reduce digital costs and focus on ensuring that the BBC continues to make high-quality programmes.

The BBC director general, Mark Thompson, is conducting a strategic review of all the corporation’s activities that will lead to cuts in some content and programming, and possibly in some digital TV, radio and online services.
