"How to avoid making cuts" by the BBC:

1. Propose to cut things that are really good, and worthy, and fairly cheap, and well loved by influential media types, and that don't directly compete with commercial offerings (see public-service worthiness).
   
2. Await howls of protest pointing out insanity of proposed cuts, plus relative silence from commercial interests who realise these cuts won't do them much good.
   
3. Bow to public pressure not to make any cuts.
   
   

...at least that's what i'm hoping is going on.
