Unions warn BBC of further strikes
Article Abstract:
BBC has been warned by broadcasting union Bectu of further strikes once their negotiations proves to be a failure. On Jun. 10, 1998, talks were resumed between the two parties after BBC workers staged a 24-hour strike on Jun. 4, 1998. Any further strike would disrupt BBC's coverage of Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and the World Cup. The dispute focuses on BBC's plans to consolidate portion of its Resources directorate into a separate limited firm. The Jun. 4, 1998, strike adversely affected BBC Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live, but radio and TV coverage of the first cricket Test between South Africa and England was largely not affected.

BBC looks at Bush House replacement
Article Abstract:
BBC is searching for other facilities to house its BBC World Service in case its lease in the Bush House is not renewed by 2005. BBC, which would prefer that its lease be extended in the Bush House, is considering other locations including The Strand, which was used as the head office of oil firm Shell Mex House. The Strand, which is owned by manufacturing firm Kato Kagaku of Japan, is also being considered to become BBC's newsgathering operations home because of lack of space at the News Centre at White City. A BBC Resources spokesman, however, refuse to disclose other locations being considered by BBC.
