Sveriges Radio has planned to reduce its staff by 400 to 1900. The plan, which will be presented to the board in January 2005, will start being implemented in 2007 and will be achieved in 2010. Sveriges Radio expects the plan to lead to save SEK 245 millions and to provide extra resources for the purchase of programs from independant production companies.
