Stop the cuts at Radio Foyle

We, the undersigned, object in the strongest possible terms to the BBCs proposed cuts to Radio Foyles programmes and staff. As a local public service broadcaster, the station is uniquely placed to reflect the affairs of the north west. The proposed cuts (the News At One, Sean Coyle, 3-5Live, Saturday Sport and Saturday Club) raise serious doubts over the BBCs commitment to local broadcasting and the future of the station. A reduction in Radio Foyles dedicated output disenfranchises licence fee payers here. We call on the BBC to withdraw the planned cuts at Radio Foyle and to safeguard and invest in the service instead.
