This series of announcements that were being made by the BBC today really make my head spin.

In one way I am disgusted that the BBC management has cut those NC presenters off the BBC payroll at any time from now and within the next 2 months.

In another way I hope that all of those presenters who have lost their jobs today will somehow find their way back on UK screens very soon.

It really has been a process that has left me completely speechless in trying to keep up with who is staying on the merged channel & who is leaving BBC News for good.

If you reading the names on that list while struggling to keep tears from flowing down your face. This moment would be it. It is an absolute disgrace.

The British Government is effectively forcing the BBC to throw it's news gathering capabilities away down the toilet for audiences who live in the UK all because of a few notable words called money and control. It is sick.

There is no other way to describe this farce.

I wonder how Lukesa Burak is taking stock of this news today. She did work for Sky News & AJE before she went to work for the BBC. Is she planning to go to either of those former employers again in the near future.

For the other presenters who have lost their jobs at the BBC. Would there be any job openings for them at the new online news service at ITVX at the moment?
