Well could be for a while at the very least
Today the official BBC plans for job cuts etc were announced
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7051414.stmThe main changes include:
# Closing 2,500 job posts over the next six years
# Creating about 1,000 new jobs, many of which will be filled internally
# Making 10% fewer original TV programmes by 2012/13, focusing on fewer, high-quality shows
# Establishing an integrated newsroom - merging TV, radio, and online
# Reducing the size of the BBCs property portfolio by selling BBC Television Centre by 2012/13
# Scrapping proposals for new activities, including plans for four new local radio stations
Across TV as a whole, the BBC plans to commission 10% fewer hours, saving £100m every year.
So You will see a lot more repeats, less documentary type series etc
Some of the things I was mentioning and people very strongly had a go at me for when I said the BBC was going down hill
And with these changes at least for next few years it will certainly be the case if it goes ahead until they find their feet again and start to build back up
