Summary of complaint
Some viewers were unhappy local English news programmes were affected by strike action on 20Β and 21Β July.
Our response
Weβre sorry that audiences experienced some changes to local TV services in England as a result of industrial action by the National Union of Journalists on 20 and 21 July. We tried to minimise disruption as much as possible.
A ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Spokesperson has said βWe have a plan to modernise local services across EnglandΒ - including more news journalists and a stronger local online service β which will see no overall reduction in editorial staffing levels or local funding. Our goal is a local service across TV, radio and online that delivers even greater value to communities.β
