The Chairman of the BBC said the BBC World Service is in “jeopardy” after the broadcaster has seen funding cuts.
Richard Sharp added the “case is strong” for government to consider “taking back control” of funding the service which faces “financial pressures” that have brought it to a “crunch point”.
The BBC needs to save a further £285 million in response to the announcement in January 2022, that the licence fee will be frozen for the next two years.
