They've had to close services over the years, and they've reduced new content hours significantly this year alone. There have been recent BBC Local Radio cuts too, It's silly to say that the rest of the organisation hasn't been affected.
They protected news for as long as they could, and it's inevitable that news would eventually be affected.
