@trevjrho@michaelwhite Trevor. The Culture Secretary is a completely different person to the passionate, positive, driven, action-orientated Wigan MP that was there before the election. Now is largely unanimated,passive, defensive&forever on the back foot. Hugely disappointing vs pre-election promise.
@trevjrho@Anna_Soubry@scott_mills@DJTrevorNelson@trevjrho. You’re being v kind with your thoughts & words for the bbc. When local radio was dismantled, deinvested & hollowed out by the senior leaders, they did not care about listeners thoughts, feelings & the benefits that local radio provides. Karma is an an amazing thing.
@MartinSLewis Since the BBC’s self inflicted vandalism of BBC Local Radio i have ceased listening to BBC Radio, don’t watch any of their TV programmes, but do occasionally use their website for sports scores. grudgingly so. The BBC can’t help but keep shooting themselves in the foot.
@PaulRowleyRadio I’ve Given up on BBC local radio and BBC SOunds following the disasterous recent decisions to weaken Local radio. reduce investment = Lose listeners = Reduce Investment = Lose listeners….repeat until gone.
@TheOfficialJVS@BBC3CR@BBCSounds Congrats JVS. There is though a major however. Many other fantastic and hugely popular BBC Local radio shows with amazing presenters (Allan Beswick, Linda Mcdermott John Gilmore BBc Lancashire) were lost in the mass radio cull. It is now far easier to rise to the top.
@trevjrho@BBCNWT You will be lucky for any kind of decision or plan to resolve this Trevor. Most new leaders or senior managers have a ‘first 100 days’ action plan. It shows intent, creates immediate momentum and builds confidence. i have seen little evidence of any such intent.
@trevjrho Yes Trevor. Thank you for your timely reminders. Bland and insipid radio has replaced the unique and engaging airtime that was Beswick. Oh well, lots of engaging non BBC choices to listen to on spotify.
