The BBC appears to have sent redundancy letters to some of its main newsreaders including Huw Edwards, Reeta Chakrabarti, Clive Myrie and Sophie Raworth in a bid to cut costs.
BBC News could soon look very different if any of the familiar faces choose to take the broadcaster up on its voluntary redundancy offer.
Reports state that the BBC is taking drastic action to try and save costs and has in turn sent letters to each of its senior TV and radio presenters to see if they would consider walking away from their jobs.
