Ram@Lincoln Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 As you may have heard on Saturday on Radio Derby, Tony Bentley had his last game as Burton summariser - according to him on Twitter it was down to new BBC policy. Steve Jordan who presents the weekend shows also suddenly left his role over the weekend. Then today, @Owen87ITK tweeted his sorrow to his BBC local radio friends on today's news. Basically all the different counties stations are having to merge for most programmes. Radio Derby's Sport at Six/Sportscene will be going with the cuts, to be replaced with a joint Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Lincolnshire programme. This is also happening with the non sport weekend shows, afternoon shows with the night shows being totally replaced with one national show. Rest in peace regional radio, what a loss this is. I really feel for everyone affected, especially the likes of Dominic Dietrich who's only just started with Radio Derby. Quote There will be six regions going forward, under new Audio Editors, covering North West / North East, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Midlands, London and East, South, and South West. From 6pm weekdays and weekend breakfast, 10 shows will be broadcast where local sport is not broadcast. The 10 shows are: Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Newcastle, Tees and Cumbria Leeds, Sheffield, York and Humberside WM, CWR, Shropshire, H&W and Stoke Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Lincolnshire Essex, Cambridge, Suffolk, Norfolk, 3CR and Northants Solent, Berkshire and Oxford London, Lent, Sussex and Surrey Bristol, Gloucester, Wiltshire and Somerset Devon and Cornwall https://radiotoday.co.uk/2022/10/major-cuts-in-jobs-and-local-shows-planned-for-local-bbc-radio/ RamuelLJackson, thelovebelow, TigerTedd and 24 others 1 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) That's very sad and 100% have zero interest in a regional show. One question that springs to mind, is what's happening with the audio commentary for everyone out of area, as that's £5 a month to RamsTV - are they going to offer their own if radio Derby no longer make the broadcast, seeing as 3pm Saturday games are still not allowed to be streamed. Sorry, just reread the above, assume from that commentary will continue but not anything else? Edited October 31, 2022 by RadioactiveWaste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that sport coverage means commentary and not a general sports/news show. This is seems to suggest only live coverage is staying local.

Srg Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Would love to say I care but I really don’t. Radio is really old hat at this point and it needs to get with the times, unfortunately. Commentary has been poor and summarising even worse at times for a long while. That’s before you add in the absolute dirge that is Sportscene phone-in which digs up the dregs of the fan base more than this place does.
