BBC Introducing cuts

[Mr Onion]

Artists and music industry trade bodies have expressed "grave concerns" over proposed cuts to BBC Introducing.

Established in 2007, Introducing gives aspiring musicians the chance to be heard on their local BBC radio station.

It has helped launch the careers of artists like Florence + The Machine, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Lewis Capaldi.

But proposed cuts to local radio mean the 32 regional Introducing shows that are currently on air could be cut to 11, presenters have been told.

The BBC has yet to formally announce any changes, but said on Wednesday it would continue to broadcast Introducing programmes "as part of our schedule on Thursday and Saturday", while "giving more prominence to new music" elsewhere on the schedule.

It did not confirm how many of the regional shows would remain on air.

The only decent thing on Local Radio and they want to cut it.

I disagree! Radio 3 is excellent+++. If I’m in the house and not playing guitar or listening to any specific album, Radio 3 is on the NAT-01. Worth the licence fee for Radio 3 alone.

I did wonder that while I was typing my reply, but then I thought I’d stick up for Radio 3 anyway. I just hope they don’t turn off the FM signal.

I had many Radio 3 hours on FM in the day.
I can see the transmitters for BBC radio from the upstairs window.

I was referring to the proposed cuts not BBC radio in general .......
