BBC local radio cutbacks ‘harming older listeners’ The Telegraph #BBCLocalRadio telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

'Who would turn that down?'

In our latest episode of 'A Face For Radio', we welcomed on Becky Want (Becky Want) from the BBC local radio show 'Late Night Becky'. She told us all about how she was able to secure the role for her show.

Strong concern from the Public Accounts Committee @CommsPAC pointing out the contradiction between cuts to #BBCLocalRadio and the BBC’s Across The UK strategy/public service remit.

📻 The BBC’s cuts to local radio are harming older audiences, MPs have warned, as they accused the broadcaster of lacking a clear plan for shifting hundreds of millions of pounds in spending outside London telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

So many comments across social media of listeners chatting about the overkill of the same three / four songs. We all get they’re popular at the minute, but there are other newer songs also out which could be played and not on a constant loop! #BBCLocalRadio

If the BBC can exit all the BBCLOCALRADIO Talent at a stroke, how come Laura Kuenssberg cannot be replaced?

Just tuned in to the #BBCLocalRadio All England Late Show. Presenter talks all over Rod Stewart at start of show (not even the end of song) and crashes vocals over start of Queen’s ‘Somebody To Love’. Bizarre.

Give her BBC Local radio interview a repeat listen. How the hell did she get to be PM? It is a painful listen.

Test Match Special BBC Sport BBC Sounds Kevin Howells Why no BBC local radio coverage of the non-Surrey matches? Isn't that usual? Also catch-up of Surrey v Somerset days 1 & 2 not showing up on Live section of BBC sports app. But can be found buried in BBC Sounds. Why is that? #bbccricket .

Duncan Newmarch Commercial local radio on the whole died many years ago. They could have least kept their names although I gues that would have a lie. All the more importance of protecting what we have left of #BBCLOCALRADIO
