Is it just me that gets a bit mad hearing about this? Not mad at the BBC, but at the government who are ultimately in charge of the funding. This is further 'soft power' we are losing by not allowing the BBC to be able to run these services. Yes, tough financial choices need to be made sometimes but they're often made at the expense of the bigger picture.

I'll stop the rant before I get too political and maybe I'm being too nostalgic for an era of media consumption that has already long gone, but it seems the BBC is being cut to bits.
