OP is a faggot
Approximately 11,000 online recipes are to be dropped following a review of the BBC’s online output that promises to save £15m a year by cutting back on magazine-style content as well as local news.
The recipes are being “archived or mothballed”, a source said, and will “fall off the face of the internet” after the food site is closed, with no live links.
The broadcaster will remove the recipes on its food site although recipes from television shows will remain online for a 30-day period after transmission and the plans will not affect commercial services such as BBC Good Food. Other text-based online offerings are also expected to be hit. A number of travel articles are also expected to be taken offline.
In an announcement due to be made to staff on Tuesday, the BBC will promise a more “focused and distinctive service” with a number of well-known services either closed or scaled down over the next 12 months.
Tuesday’s announcement comes after a bruising battle with the government over the BBC’s market impact, which resulted in last week’s white paper. Although it was widely considered to be better than expected for the BBC, the corporation is responding to comments made by George Osborne, the chancellor, last summer in which he said the BBC was being “imperial in its ambitions” by expanding into content such as recipes.
A BBC insider said the changes were an attempt to focus on distinctive content online, an adjective to be added to the corporation’s mission statement.
“While our audiences expect us to be online, we have never sought to be all things to all people and the changes being announced will ensure that we are not,” he said. “These changes won’t be popular with all members of the public, but we think they are the right thing to do.”
Rumoured plans of cuts to the recipe site have already prompted chef Jack Monroe blah blah blah english shit
James Harding, the director of BBC news and current affairs, is expected to say bong bong bong.
...“distinctive public service content"
the “best of arts and culture, history and science” pulled together in a new “ideas service”, educational services such as BBC Bitesize, entertainment offered through BBC iPlayer, and national events SUCH AS ROYAL WEDDINGS!!! OMG

Because the Tory scum want to piss on the BBC at all opportunity, as it pleases and amuses their master The Lord High Murdoch.
welp better download pdfs of all the great british menu recipes before they go
Not noteworthy in the slightest, as the best cookbooks are far superior.
It's like being sad if they dropped East Enders when Shakespeare's complete works are already public domain.

/pol/itics is plebeian. Cuisine shouldn't be dirtied by association. Talk about other arts/entertainment all you like, at least that could end up increasing the quality of the board. Partisan hysteria only does the opposite.
>>7681960
It's embarrassing you ever did. TV is shit. It's the visual equivalent to the radio. Watch actual cinema and actual 'documentaries' (books, educational DVDs, courses, etc).
>>7681986
I won't go so far as to question the existence of "great" British menus but I hope you aren't missing out on superior regions just because they are foreign.

But then how will you wank to Peggy dying?

BBC Good Food is the website where all the decent recipes are, and that's staying
>Half of these recipes require spices!
>lol we don't use that shit here in bongland get rid of 'em
Now there will be no place on the internet to find recipes.

>designed by top chefs.

Like I said the best recipes are found in professional cookbooks, not magazine-style novelties. The former can be easily found online in ebook formats.

Be careful, fedora-posting is detrimental to the board.

That guy is a top internet chef.

great british menu is a tv show in which british chefs compete for representation at various banquet events - one series was a celebration of the women's institute, one was for comic relief, one was for ww2 vets etc. the dishes they make are really involved and a treasure trove of useful information.
