BBC Shutters 10 World Service Broadcasts

The BBC WORLD SERVICE is closing ten of its radio services and starting an Arabic-language TV news channel. Radio broadcasts in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Kazakh, Polish, Slovak, Slovene and Thai are being discontinued due to falling listenership or because the countries are or will be shortly in the EUROPEAN UNION. The move will cut about 236 jobs but will create 201 others for the new TV channel.
