A total of 3,780 posts to close over the next three years - almost one in five employees in UK public service divisions.

Some 2,050 of those are from content and output areas. The other 1,730 are from Professional Services - the behind-the-scenes support services. These were announced on 10 March.

The cuts will be made by 2008 and the full break-down is as follows:

Job losses:

• TV - 47 posts (18% of division's workforce). Savings �37m
• Radio & Music- 150 posts (15%). Savings �9.4m
• New Media Central - 58 posts (18%). Savings �7.7m
• Nations and Regions - 735 posts (13%). Savings �54.4m
• Drama, Entertainment and CBBC - 150 posts (10%). Savings �45.2m
• Factual & Learning - 424 posts close (21%). Savings �22.9m
• BBC News - 420 posts (12%). Savings �34.4m
• BBC Sport - 66 posts (13%) Savings �9.9m
• Professional Services - 1,730 posts (46%), Savings �139m

The cuts are expected to save �355m a year, director general Mark Thompson said - �35m more than his original target. Some �221m will be saved by the changes in programme-making areas.

Mr Thompson said there would be fewer repeats and the money would be reinvested in original drama, comedy, music, journalism and other programme areas.

Reinvestment priorities:

• �47m a year by 2008 in TV drama on BBC One and BBC Two
• �6m for the Alternative Proms and Music for All
• �23m for TV factual overall including �9 million for Specialist Factual on BBC One
• �45m for News, boosting original journalism, current affairs, Middle East news coverage and news on-demand
• �52m for Nations & Regions' local output, plus an increased share of network TV spend
• Investing in Building Public Value ideas, including �32m to help New Media develop platforms and navigation, on demand and two-way applications
