BBC World Service will close five overseas services to save money | Herald Sun: "THE BBC World Service will shed around 500 jobs after announcing plans Tuesday to close five language services in a bid to save money.
The shake-up will also see the British national broadcaster scale back its operations in Russia and China, The Financial Times reported.
The five language services to close are Albanian; Macedonian; Serbian; Portuguese output for Africa; and an English-language service tailored to the Caribbean.
The move has triggered an angry response from unions but officials believe the service, which receives millions in funding from the Foreign Office, must tighten its belt in line with the wider budget."
