Why could BBC News bulletins be scrapped?

The warning comes as more people are getting the latest updates through their phones and tablets.

Director of BBC News Fran Unsworth said: “Ultimately, in 10 years’ time, we probably won’t be consuming linear bulletins.

“I might be wrong about that but I doubt it.

“There might be one [bulletin] a day, but video will just be in a different space [like] iPlayer, tablet [or] iPhone.”
