Yorkshire MPs say they are 'dismayed' by plans for stations to share more programmes.
BBC News
In an open letter written to the BBC's director general, Tim Davie, MPs have called for management to reconsider the changes, which would see stations sharing regional programmes, with "popular DJs being axed". "This is Licence Fee money, something that just about every household has a stake in, yet no research has been presented about the possible effects of these changes."
She claimed some local radio staff had been "intimidated and forced [out] through a 'Hunger Games' [recruitment] process to plead for their own jobs, with most being made redundant and threats to that redundancy package if they speak publicly", describing it as "disgraceful".
