It's cold comfort for anyone losing their jobs, but it appears the Director General has put part of his future strategy in this evolving media.
This and a raft of proposals go to the Trustees on Wednesday.
These measures will have wide ranging inpact on the industry at large
1. Media figures wil, depending if the cuts go ahead in light of union reaction, want to know whether the BBC can operate on its new slim line figure.
2. The usual musical chairs and shuffle that creates inevitable jobs at all sectors including new blood may well be affected.
3. It may also signal what sort of employee the BBC is looking for in the future, which in turn may give some ideas to other media execs.
