BBC周二宣布裁减100多个职位并关闭两个频道，这家资金紧张的英国广播机构旨在未来两年节省5亿英镑（约合6.68亿美元）。
The BBC announced more than 100 job cuts and the closure of two channels Tuesday as the cash-strapped UK broadcaster aims to save £500 million (US$668 million) over the next two years.
据BBC新闻总监瑞秋·朱普的一份内部备忘录，BBC新闻宣布“净关闭100多个职位”，这是该机构为实现既定节省目标而计划削减的约2000个职位的一部分。朱普表示，这些裁员将节省550万英镑。
BBC News announced the “net closure of just over 100 roles”, according to an internal note by director Rachel Jupp, part of some 2,000 job cuts the broader organisation is eyeing to achieve its planned savings. The job cuts represent £5.5 million in savings, said Jupp.
本月早些时候，她被任命为BBC新闻总监，此前其前任因去年一部BBC纪录片中对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的误导性剪辑引发争议而辞职。
She was appointed BBC News’ director this month, after her predecessor stepped down amid a row over a misleading edit of US President Donald Trump in a BBC documentary last year.
BBC还表示，将停止BBC苏格兰台和BBC Three（一个面向青少年的频道）的广播，这两个频道将改为在其在线流媒体平台iPlayer上提供。
The BBC also said it would end the broadcast of BBC Scotland and BBC Three – a youth-oriented channel – which will be available on its online iPlayer streaming platform instead.
BBC还宣布关闭Radio 4 Extra，其主要以档案节目为主的内容将在音频流媒体平台BBC Sounds上提供。
It also announced the closure of Radio 4 Extra, with its mainly archive-based programmes made available on BBC Sounds, an audio streaming platform.
BBC总干事马特·布里廷在致员工的一份备忘录中说：“在应对当前成本压力、为不断变化的世界重塑BBC的过程中，我们需要让每一英镑都为观众发挥更大的作用。我们都知道，这意味着艰难的抉择。”
“We need to make every pound work harder for audiences as we respond to the immediate cost pressures and reinvent the BBC for a changing world. We all know that means tough choices,” BBC Director General Matt Brittin said in a note to staff.
这位前谷歌高管于今年早些时候接任BBC掌门，他补充道：“它们目前播出的大量优质内容，仍将在观众已习惯收看、收听的iPlayer和Sounds平台上找到。”
“Much of the great content they currently carry will still be found where audiences already enjoy it on iPlayer and Sounds,” the former Google executive, who took the helm of the BBC earlier this year, added.
苏格兰文化大臣迈里·麦卡伦表示，将BBC苏格兰台移至线上“完全不可接受”。
Scottish culture minister Mairi McAllan said moving BBC Scotland online was “wholly unacceptable”.
BBC于6月宣布计划，在本财年结束前在其新闻、各民族地区及内容团队再裁减550个职位，以实现1.6亿英镑的节省。
The BBC in June announced plans to axe another 550 roles in its news, nations and content teams by the end of this financial year to deliver £160 million in savings.
此举发生在严重的成本压力之下，主要用于资助该机构的牌照费收入自2017年以来实际价值已下降约四分之一。
It comes amid severe cost pressures after income from a licence fee used to fund the corporation in large part fell by around a quarter in real terms since 2017.
这家广播机构——自称其服务每月覆盖94%的英国成年人——近年来还深受一系列争议和丑闻困扰，动摇了公众对它的信心。
The broadcaster – which claims 94 per cent of UK adults use its services monthly – has also been plagued by a series of controversies and scandals in recent years that have rocked public confidence in it.
“人们消费新闻的方式正在迅速改变，太多受众，尤其是年轻受众，找不到我们，”朱普在信中表示。
“The way people consume news is changing rapidly, and too many audiences, particularly younger audiences, are not finding us,” Jupp said in her message.
朱普补充说，BBC新闻部门可能需要节省比预期更多的资金：“考虑到BBC面临的财政压力，新闻部门的节省要求可能会增加。”
Jupp added the BBC’s news service could be required to save more than anticipated: “Given the BBC’s financial pressures, the savings requirement for News could increase”.
BBC今年早些时候透露，计划在未来三年内从约50亿英镑的年度预算中节省5亿英镑，削减多达2000个职位，这是自2011年以来最大规模的裁员。
The BBC revealed earlier this year it planned to save £500 million from its roughly £5 billion annual budget over the next three years by cutting up to 2,000 jobs, in its biggest round of redundancies since 2011.
