But, but, “linear radio” is so old hat, say Jason Horton Rhodri Talfan Davies Tim Davie…

NUJ BBC Nations & Regions It's disappointing that they have cut Sophie's statement from the beginning of the show on the Sounds app.
The truth hurts doesn't it Jason Horton Rhodri Talfan Davies BBC??

Listeners BBC Cumbria still rightly upset about lack of local programming on the station, with only breakfast and mid morning shows weekdays (apart frm sport) being local and NO local programming at weekends apart frm sport. Jason Horton Rhodri Talfan Davies will you be making changes?
Yet another #BBCLocalRadio listener switches off due to these ridiculous changes. How on earth did it get to this? It’s outrageous and very sad.

Local elections were made for #BBCLocalRadio . So we switch on BBC Leeds to hear live results. NOTHING! (except Radio 2 type music & drivel). Disgraceful. #BBCR4Feedback , Andrea Catherwood Rhodri Talfan Davies #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal ?
Carl Wheatley Nicky Horne, Esq. Rhodri Talfan Davies BBC Radio 2 If we ever needed evidence that the wrong people are being sacrificed in this debacle this is it. Radio means a lot to many people, it’s part of our ontological security. A podcast just doesn’t cut it when the person who’s been in your home most days for years isn’t there anymore
Is this what BBCLOCALRADIO has come to. The content is pointless and I’m sorry to say the late show presenters have zero rapport with the audience. Rhodri Talfan Davies Jason Horton Chris Burns
Nicky Horne, Esq. Rhodri Talfan Davies Jason Horton I have listened to heartfelt goodbyes from across England. This sums it up brilliantly. The mistake is to think that Tim Davie doesn't understand what he's enacted. He does, he simply doesn't care. It is an arrogance born out of ignorance. Pepsi values not BBC.
Graham Hughes BBC Sounds BBC Shropshire Rhodri Talfan Davies BBC Press Office Vicky Breakwell Jason Horton Nicky Horne, Esq. There were at least 2 news items on BBC Three Counties Radio this morning that had originally been done at the end of last week.
It’s a shame when Rhodri Talfan Davies Jason Horton Chris Burns destroyed BBCLOCALRADIO schedules, they didn’t design it to give local audiences what they want. Do the right thing and reverse the changes
Nicky Horne, Esq. Dee Paul Stainton Rhodri Talfan Davies My tweet yesterday:
Someone who is useless and also very well connected has got to the very top of #bbcradio , surrounded themselves over time with lackies and now they are doing that ‘break the paradigm’ thing to show how radical they are. They need some grown-ups in the room.
Surprised that Jason Horton appeared on Today R4 but pulled out of appearing on @bbcyork I have some sympathy with the position he is in but with a big salary comes the responsibility to explain to all. Especially the listeners he serves. There is still time! Rhodri Talfan Davies
Nicky Horne, Esq. BBC Rhodri Talfan Davies Jason Horton They made the same mistake in 2013 changing BBC local to a networked evening programme replacing all the local ones. They scrapped this in 2017 & went back to local programmes, but didn't learn from that mistake, as they did it again in 2023, but in much in a much bigger way!
Radio Fanatic Rhodri Talfan Davies Jason Horton See it daily in texts, emails and letters from listeners too. Heartbreaking
Listening to #BBCWiitshire for updates on big local story. Bulls up to 12pm reflected this. BUT what the heck is 'local' about 1pm Bull? Jeepers! Led on Euro Star, then South London fire, Bully dogs, Ukraine, Anglo Sax object in NORFOLK! Not even West Country local?! Rhodri Talfan Davies
Well said Carl Wheatley Jeremy Vine - great interview. Jason Horton Rhodri Talfan Davies Go now and save face - you didn't even sound like you believed it!
