Information is beautiful: The BBC-O-Gram

This article is more than 14 years old
£22m for this, £25m for that: the BBC's budget is all a bit too big to comprehend - especially now it's looking at cuts. See how the figures add up

Last week, the BBC cuts made all the headlines: it is closing two radio stations, capping spending on sports events, and slashing other costs. All to generate extra revenue for programming.

As ever, it's a little hard to understand all the abstract figures from the BBC budget.

Does the BBC give good value for money? What does it spend on Mad Men and other shows? How does its budget compare to other broadcasters?

Hopefully the BBC-O-Gram will help put the figures in context.
