The fate of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ local radio is once more under the microscope this week, as independent media consultant John Myers publishes his report on the best way to cut costs and keep quality. He recommends scrapping the plan to share afternoon programmes across regions, and suggests that cutting back on management could save two million pounds. Roger meets David Holdsworth, the controller of English Regions, to find out what this will mean for listeners.
As the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service turns 80, it has thrown open the doors to its news conference. For the first time the daily meeting where editors discuss the news agenda was broadcast around the world. Feedback went along to find out how much the great and the good consider what the audience wants to hear.
And do you know your Angry Birds from your Grand Theft Auto? On Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 a recent edition of Front Row focused on computer games. About time too said many listeners. So will there be more discussion of the topic in the future? Roger meets editor John Goudie to find out.
Presenter: Roger Bolton
Producers: Karen Pirie and Kate Taylor
