So it seems we're also seeing one or two "high profile" departures from our various regions. As revealed earlier in the year the BBC are making over 450 redundancies throughout the regions.

Inside Out has been completely axed, many presenters are now reaching the end of their contracts and regional output outside of news is less than ever.
I know one of the "upsides" to this is increased automation in regional galleries and that will also bring local HD versions of the regions and an end to the red "switch to 101" loop, but where the automation is being brought in technical departments in some regions were 16+ people now down to around 5.
Sad times.
