BBC bosses have been accused of ‘throwing older people under a bus’ as a result of planned cuts to local radio services.
MPs yesterday hit out at the corporation’s plans which have left a swathe of shows facing the axe, with one politician saying the broadcaster was ‘ripping the heart out’ of these services.
A key part of the plans is for different regions to increasingly share content at certain times of the day.
All 39 local stations will retain their own dedicated programming between 6am and 2pm, but from then on programmes will be shared between stations.
