relationship with its listeners and we are excited by the possibilities for
developing the programme over the next three years."
Μύ
Mark Damazer, Controller, Radio 4, says: "Feedback is one of Radio 4's most
important programmes and we look forward to City's arrival.
Μύ
"Anne Reevell has
great journalistic experience and integrity and - with Roger Bolton still at
the helm - I am confident that Feedback will continue to champion the concerns
and passions of the audience.
Μύ

splendid 12 years running the programme. They did a great job."
