BBC to Cull the Cult TV Repository

Posted by Zonk on from the who-all-over-again dept.

malkavian writes "The BBC has announced that it's going to be ceasing to host it's Cult TV Repository. At a meager 700,000 users per month, it was decided that this was no longer a significantly useful public resource, as the information was also available elsewhere on the net. Many people believe this to be a grievous mistake on the part of the BBC, to allow the history of their own broadcasting highlights to fragment, and possibly be lost like so much of its other content."

    Never heard of it. The BBC are under pressure to waste less money - there are a bunch of job cuts going through (under protest, naturally). This doesn't look like something which would make money for them, or improve their image, or whatever, and if only 700,000 people were interested then I can't really see what the problem is.

    Surely this is a job for the Open Source community to step in and fix?
