A carve-up remodelling the BBC’s factual and learning department
into nine ‘studios’, has resulted in a loss of 23 management jobs.
The new structure ends of the current two-way split between
specialist and documentary and contemporary factual. Studios will now
group around genres with the whole factual department overseen by Keith
Scholey, who becomes controller of factual production, and Liz Cleaver,
who remains as controller of learning and interactive.
BBC
director of factual and learning John Willis announced the change and
his overhaul will see the documentaries department in London merged
into a documentary and specialist features division.
The
restructure will also see the loss of 23 jobs among managers, part of
the 424 due to be lost in Factual and Learning under Director General
Mark Thompson’s corporation-wide cost-cutting exercise.
