Article Abstract:

BBC1 and BB2 controllers are assessing how they can deal with the decision by BBC Television managers to place a freeze on programme commissions.

The freeze results from a commitment made by the BBC to eliminate borrowing by 1996-97.

This attack is not nearly as vicious as those undertaken by previous administrations, and is simply part of the ritual of modern political life.
