BBC coverage of the Coronation could be hit after more than 80% of union members voted to take strike action in protest at local radio cuts
could be hit after more than 80 per cent of union members voted to take strike action in protest at local radio cuts.
Local radio coverage of the Budget is likely to be hit as well as the regional 6.30pm BBC News television bulletins. The number of local shows will be increased but the cost-cutting proposals would still result in an expected net loss of 48 roles. “I would urge the BBC to take stock and meaningfully engage so that we can come to a solution that acknowledges the vital role that quality, relevant and genuinely local news plays in our public service broadcaster. The BBC’s focus on digital content and delivery shouldn’t be at the expense of local news and journalism.”
