BBC local websites proposal
The BBC's proposals to launch a £68m network of local news websites with video content have been rejected by the BBC Trust following vociferous opposition from newspaper publishers. This is despite the inclusion of proposals aimed at collaboration with the regional press.
The BBC's plan would have seen the launch of 65 local video services – across 60 areas of the UK with five Welsh-language services – covering news, sport and weather with 400 staff and a total budget of £68m up to 2013. Each of the local websites would have had the equivalent of around £350,000 a year in funding enabling sourcing of local news video from external providers and making their own content available for embedding on other sites.
