I'm sorry but instead of broadcasting, the BBC is narrowcasting. It has ghettoised music, and as a result, we get radio stations with wall to wall, monocultures of pop/easy listening/ethnic/oldies/classical etc etc. In too many cases, never the twain shall meet. The BBC has expanded it's activities far beyond it's remit, and it is doing it with limited budget, all of which we provide.
It needs to stop spreading, and target itself better, so cuts are inevitable.
I'm not saying that what they are doing is right or wrong, but things need looking at very seriously.
I shan't be signing any petitions to stop them doing whatever it is they are doing, because petitions never changed anything, and if they are persuaded to change the targets of the present cuts, then whatever target takes it's place, will upset another special interest group.
I listened to a wonderful old broadcast of Take it From Here on BBC7 this morning, all the way from 1953, and it was as funny now as then.
However Radio7 is a minority channel, and I'm surprised it appears to have survived the projected cuts, from what I've heard.
Face it, either you are willing to pay a lot more for your licence, or you are going to have to suffer cuts of one sort or another.
