| The BBC is facing another strike by its journalists and other staff that could potentially have a significant impact on the corporation's output.
Members of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and technical union Bectu voted in favour of walkouts in a dispute over job cuts.
The corporation is cutting about 2,000 jobs over five years as part of its Delivering Quality First programme.
The date or dates of the industrial action will be announced on Thursday.
The NUJ vote was 61% in favour of stoppages, while backing among Bectu members was 56%.
Both unions were also in favour of action short of a strike, with 80% of NUJ members and 81% of Bectu's supporting it.
The ballot follows a one-day strike by NUJ members on 18 February that resulted in programmes being affected and some schedules being changed.
"BBC staff have today rejected management's attempts to create a modern-day BBC sweatshop," said Bectu leader Gerry Morrissey.
