The BBC's chief operating officer, Caroline Thomson, has warned that the corporation will have to be "ruthless" in prioritising which sports it broadcasts in the future, warning that if the cost of media rights nfl jerseys cheap
escalates it could have a "long-term problem".

Thomson was speaking after a six-month period in which the BBC gave up its exclusive live rights to Formula One, signing a joint deal with BSkyB to the chagrin of many motor racing fans, lost the French Open tennis to ITV, and agreed to share coverage of the World Professional Darts Championships with ESPN.

However, the BBC has signed new contracts to keep Wimbledon and Six Nations rugby union until 2017, and won back the World Athletics Championships from Channel 4 from 2015.

Thomson said the joint F1 deal generated the same savings as the corporation would have made if it had closed BBC4, and almost the same as it would have saved had it decided to shut BBC3.

"If the cost of sports rights go through the roof we will have a problem in the long term," Thomson told the Voice of the Listener and Viewer annual conference in central London today.

"We think sport does have a part in the mix but it will be about the major events and not the others," she added. "We will be ruthlessly prioritising. We have made deeper cuts in sport and less in ugg boots outlet drama, for instance."

Thomson later said the BBC would focus on sports that appealed to the whole of the UK, and highlighted events such as the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and Six Nations rugby, as well as the Olympics.

She predicted the joint F1 rights deal with Sky – which will see the BBC broadcast half of next seasons races live, including the British Grand Prix – "will work well".

Thomson said the £670m cuts required by the "Delivering Quality First" initiative would be felt across the corporation.

She added that the savings required at BBC News, which will see the loss of about 800 jobs, would be aided by the integration of the BBC News and BBC World Service newsgathering operations.

"I think there are three bureaux in Cairo. That is not a sensible way to spend money. We should have just one," she said. "There is a real opportunity for greater efficiencies."

Thomson also said the BBC was listening to widespread concerns about the impact of cuts at local radio stations, which will be debated in the Commons tomorrow.

"We always thought that the proposal to make cuts in local radio would be particularly sensitive," said Thomson.

"We have been surprised and impressed by the response. The point of a Vancouver Canucks Jerseys consultation is to hear from people and understand what is going on on the ground and what people are worried about. We are listening and we will carry on listening.

"Clearly local radio and local broadcasting as a whole does matter, and is an area of worse and worse market failure. If we go back on some of these cuts we will have to find the money from elsewhere."
