Complete lack of business sense. The BBC gain a hold on the internet market in many sectors and instead of using innovation and common sense to make it earn lots of money they decide to throw money and opportunity down the drain.

Shall we all run our business’ like that? Buy land, build a house and knock it all down again before anyone moves in to.

Don’t close the sites; sell them to me so I can make them profitable within 6 months. It’s beyond bad business to close these sites before even trying the proven ways to make money from high volume media covered sites and services that the BBC run.

I have a mental and learning disability and could think of several ways to turn around the costs of the sites so why are these people not able to do it? No popular website should be unable to sustain itself financially

“606 doesn’t fit with our five editorial priorities – it wasn’t linked to anything we do on air or online.”

Errr… apart from the football discussion programme 606.

Only radio (where the BBC started) but surely it counts. Oh… and maybe it’s sorta linked to the BBC covering a bit of sport now and then.

What exactly are “…generational layoffs and cutbacks…”? What generation got cut?
