GUEST,Dave Eyre The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC (288* d) RE: The end of Folkwaves 09 Dec 10

Here is the BBC statement regarding your enquiry about BBC Radio Derby's Folkwaves programme:

"A BBC Spokesperson said:

Radio stations regularly review their programming, and after a wide ranging review of evening programmes in the East Midlands, we are extending the hours of broadcast to 1am and providing a new early-evening programme designed to appeal to a wider number of licence fee payers."

ENDS

"I have also checked and the changes take place from the start of the New Year and the last programme goes out on BBC Radio Derby on 27th December. This announcement relates to the East Midlands only."

I asked if a BBC Spokesman was prepared to come onto my radio show and defend the decision. Here is what they said.

"I'm afraid it wont be possible to put up a BBC Radio Derby spokesperson on your show unfortunately."
