Yes Sean I agree we should petition the bbc...this is just cost cutting
without thought.BBC 6 with Marc Riley and Gideon Coe ,and the asian station with their musical and cultural agenda are very important.What should happen is that the ridiculous wages of some presenters and celebrities should be rationalised.The bbc is a public broadcasting service PAID for by us taxpayers ...with a wide qualitative remit.John Peel would turn in his grave if he heard about this.
Some of bbc radio two is totally mis aligned!Apart from Marc and Stuart ,Steve Lamacq,Bob Harris,Mike Harding,& Paul Jones who should all be on a seperate station.I notice radio1 xtra is not up for the chop
nor is bbc radio seven ?????The whole set up is ridiculous.Typically the bbc lost Pete Mitchell to XFM.......Commercial radios gain here!!
As for the television channels ...well their alignment is crazy
BBC 3 and BBC 4 both are supposed to be additional to BBC 2 !!
The cost of running these two radio channels is in the big scheme negligible............What needs to go are some of the ridiculous wages those top executives get
The government waste on needless wars .......the insulting pay of bailed out banks ........well need i say more
Vote at the general election by all means ...but the last two points alone I did not vote in favour of or for.
