Up to 50 jobs could go in Wales as the BBC implements £15m of budget cuts, starting in 2025.
It is part of £200m in saving measures, originally announced for next year by the BBC’s director general Tim Davie in March.
BBC Wales said cuts will come from 746 staff members, with 25 to 30 editorial and production roles, and 20 jobs in the operations department set to go.
“We have to address these savings,” BBC Cymru Wales director Rhuanedd Richards told staff on a video call.
She said she hopes the job cuts can be achieved through a voluntary redundancy scheme being offered to staff over the next month.
“Given the level of savings required,” she added, “we cannot rule out compulsory redundancies”.
She confirmed comments from BBC Nations director Rhodri Talfan Davies in an earlier meeting with staff from the across the UK that no “major services” would be closed.
“We may have to reduce scope, changing the way we do things,” she said giving the example of BBC Wales Sport moving its live television rugby show, Scrum V, to an online format.
