The BBC are having a shite week.
, more trouble for the corporation arrives this week in the shape of a strike on Wednesday by BBC local staff over cuts to local radio. The National Union of Journalists members have backed industrial action over the proposals with 83% voting in favour of strikes on a 69% turnout.The BBC has plans to introduce greater programme-sharing on local radio in England.
“I have always been proud to work for the BBC, especially in a local capacity. Even though more often than not, it feels like local radio is treated as the dumb, ugly, bastard child of the BBC . That being said, I can honestly say I’ve never felt more disillusioned to work here and that saddens me to my very soul.
“Most staff members would concede that we do need to adapt and change how we do some things. Yes, the way people are listening is changing, no one disputes that, but there is still a huge majority of our audience that rely on ‘lineal’ radio as they call it. Sharing/reducing output across afternoons and regionalising other shows will only alienate our audience further. There are countless examples of how it just doesn’t work.
“There is a real feeling amongst staff that this is the beginning of the end of local radio and morale is on the floor – the worst I’ve ever known it. Yet staff consistently step into work everyday and continue to produce under such difficult circumstances.
