Victoria Derbyshire Show Axed As BBC Tries To Save Money

The Victoria Derbyshire Show is coming off air as a result of BBC cuts, the broadcaster's media editor has said. Amol Rajan said on Twitter that the show was ending and that the cost of the programme was "deemed too high". He said: "The Victoria Derbyshire Show is coming off air. I understand @BBCNews is committed to Victoria + the (award-winning) journalism of the show. "Cost of doing it on linear channel when savings are needed deemed too high. BBC declined to comment ahead of an announcement next week."
