I see that, as part of a cost-cutting exercise, the BBC is to close down about 200 websites.
What? The BBC has over 200 websites? Obviously loads more than 200, because presumably they're cutting only a minority, not a majority.
What on earth is it doing with all those websites? It's trying to be too many things to too many people - that's what. Although people respect the BBC's views (as being accurate and impartial), they don't have to be the mouthpiece for everything.
The British Broadcasting Corporation should stick to broadcasting in the traditional sense and work on making quality programmes - the competition appears to be concentrating more and more on making dross.
Among the BBC sites to close include teen services Switch and Blast,as well as Raw, Video Nation and community site 606. I've heard of 606.
It looks like there have been far too many niche websites. Let's face it: there are plenty of other Internet players out there, who can cater for niche markets. The BBC should stick to the mainstream.
