@ian4downton Surely the shift away from linear has everything to do with consumer preference and market forces. People stopped listening to local radio for the same reason they stopped buying local papers - they just don't want it. The market drove the decline, not the other way round
Thoughts with all those facing job uncertainty this week.
It may be a vain hope, but my hope is that the pain is part of a transition to something that is still a world class journalistic outlet, which has successfully transitioned out of linear broadcasting, as it will need to. The road's been bumpy, but there's a lot to be proud of.
I will be one of many who agree with Roger, and I will be one of many who used to listen to The World Tonight regularly, who is now fortunate to catch a bit of it, once a month. We lost something rigorous when Newsnight was shrunk, but we gained something much more watchable 1/3
It’s clear that the BBC has to make cuts. The questions are whether they’re the right ones - and slashing News is a bad start. And how can the government say the BBC is a vital national service and see it steadily defunded in this way?
@robinlustig We spent a decade together you and I, Robin, though you never knew. An excellent programme.
@michaelsavage @DeGrooteMedia And a lot of us are listening to on demand podcasts rather than linear radio. Often with a bias towards names that have been put into our consciousness from linear media though. Not clear how the podcast stars of the future emerge.

You'll never guess what lads, I'm setting up a @YouGov Direct survey, and I chose one question on which to run their AI tool which promised to improve my answer options... Their human review (with which I agree) has recommended I undo both the changes their AI suggested.
That thing when you have the news on, glance up and go "That really looks like @ruddick is in Forum Books, but why would he be in Forum Books?" and it turns out, he's in Forum Books. One of the best bookshops in the NE (Barter Books strong rival if you're a fan of model trains)
