BBC using 6 Music and the Asian Network as sacrificial lambs says Foster
Tue, 02 Mar 2010
“While the BBC has become overgrown in some areas and needs pruning, the Licence Fee payers must have their say about what’s to go," said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary.
Commenting ahead of today’s publication of the BBC strategy which could see its website scaled back and radio stations 6 Music and Asian Network closed, Don Foster said:
“Today’s report signals the end of the BBC roaming wherever it fancied. The decision to focus on high quality UK content is welcome.
“However, I am not convinced that using 6 Music and the Asian Network as sacrificial lambs to pay for it is the right approach.
“While the BBC has become overgrown in some areas and needs pruning, the Licence Fee payers must have their say about what’s to go.”
