One of the many #picketlines outside the #BBC today against cuts in local radio - here #journalists of #BBCRadioLondon & #BBCLondonNews and their supporters outside New Broadcasting House #NBH. The strike is over BBC plans to replace many Local Radio shows with national or regional shows instead.
The BBC says it’s to divert more funding into digital. #NUJ - the journalists' trade #union ,- says it will diminish local radio.
