BBC will remove 172 of its site
To reduce costs, the BBC corporation is going to destroy 172 of its site ( list in XLS ). They will be removed before the end of this year. BBC Online will be cut by 360 people.
It is not entirely clear why the BBC is going to destroy online content, because you can simply “freeze” websites, transfer them to the BBC archive and make the appropriate edits to .htaccess redirects. But this method is not considered.
As explained in the corporate blog, some information from deleted sites will still be saved, will be transferred to other sections. But only a small part of the data will be saved. All the rest will remain only in the form of offline copies.
For example, among those removed in 2011 is the “ People’s War ” project dedicated to the Second World War. Within the framework of this project, from June 2003 to January 2006, people sent to the BBC editorial office about 47 thousand stories and 15 thousand photos from personal archives. It is good that the UK Web Archive has already archived this project. But what about the rest of the sites?

Apparently, in the case of the most important factor is the disk space on the servers, which the BBC does not want to take up wasted. In the 70s-80s, this media corporation became famous for the practice of re-using videotapes, which caused many valuable recordings to be lost, including several episodes of Doctor Who .
