Huw Edwards and Reeta Chakrabarti among those to receive letters in what corporation says was a standard HR exercise
The BBC has reportedly sent letters offering voluntary redundancy to some of its top presenters as it looks to cut expenditure in its news division.
The corporation’s interim managing editor of news and current affairs, Philippa Busby, wrote to all of its senior TV and radio presenters – including Huw Edwards, Clive Myrie, Reeta Chakrabarti and Sophie Raworth – at the beginning of this month, according to the Mail on Sunday.
