Striking a financial balance
This is a year when the BBC has struck a balance between putting
in place the financial resources and the infrastructure to deliver
our major broadcasting and operational priorities and challenges
– many of them truly transformative – whilst also being careful
to ensure funding plans are in place for our future financial
obligations and other pressures. In 2013/14, £278million of new
obligations will need to be funded, and in 2014/15, licence fee
funding of some £245million is expected to be required to run
the BBC World Service.
Delivering our immediate editorial and operational priorities
This has been a year of some major BBC milestones:
we successfully moved into New Broadcasting House –
under‑budget – and started to deliver the synergies and other
efficiencies from bringing together so many BBC colleagues
both the operational and financial benefits of our move into
MediaCityUK in Salford are now being realised
Television Centre was sold at a profit of £78million
digital switchover was completed – over £400million
under‑budget over the full life of the scheme, most of
which has already been paid over to DCMS
the BBC’s efficiency programme, the Continuous Improvement
Programme, was successfully delivered, to achieve efficiency
savings of 3.7% per annum versus a target of 3.0%. This has
provided perpetual annual savings of £580million which we
have reinvested in our content and essential infrastructure
early Delivering Quality First savings were also identified to put
cash aside to ease the pressure of future savings targ
