BREAKING: Classic BBC show cancelled in search for ‘higher impact content’

ACCORDING to early reports on Thursday, February 2, a classic BBC show has been cancelled in search for ‘higher impact content’.

Classic BBC show Autumnwatch has been cancelled in a bid to “focus our resources on content that has the highest impact,” the British Broadcasting Corporation announced.

“These are challenging times financially and we need to make difficult decisions and focus our resources on content that has the highest impact,” it said.

“Sadly, this means that Autumnwatch will not be continuing. Instead, we are investing more money into Springwatch and Winterwatch, as they are most popular with audiences.

“We are incredibly proud of the Watches and would like to thank the presenters and production team who will continue on Springwatch when it returns in May for three weeks, and Winterwatch when it returns next year for one week, reduced from two weeks.”
