The call from politicians of all parties across lancashirecc comes as BBCLancashire is facing a major change to the shows it broadcasts 📻
, which will see the volume of content produced solely for its 39 different outlets – including Radio Lancashire – slashed.
The situation is even more stark at the weekend, with most stations due to get almost no wholly local programming, except for live sports coverage, which will also continue to be provided during the week when local teams are in action. Outside of sport, Saturdays and Sundays on stations like Radio Lancashire will largely be made up of regional or national content
Although County Cllr Edwards’ motion did not directly reference the plans – which have so far sparked two walkouts by members of the National Union of Journalists, which hit Radio Lancashire’s own output, as well as the BBC’s regional TV news – he said that it was important to acknowledge that Lancashire’s local station had been a “valued part of the community for over 50 years”.
“In a world of deep fakes, Chat GPT, mistrust and growing unrest in an uneasy world, impartial reporting of the facts and free speech have never been more important – and I think our council will do right to celebrate the champions of Lancashire today,” County Cllr Edwards added. “I think communication is one of the greatest features of how we express ourselves…and I appreciate that radio stations don’t have the easiest of tasks and we have lost one or two community radio stations …so we must use it, but we must not lose it.
He also stressed that the corporation was listening to concerns it had received and had “already made some adjustments to our plans to make sure we’re making the right choices with very limited money”. Earlier this year, the Radio Today website reported that community programming for ethnic minority audiences would be found a new home in the local radio schedules and the number of such shows broadcast across the country increased.
