This is worth reading. Under the new schedule when BBC Radio Humberside shares with BBC Radio Lincolnshire, one of the stations will have pre-recorded news bulletins as there will only be one news bulletin producer. If a story breaks in one area at 2.55pm then …what happens?🤷

Proud of all my colleagues both @NUJofficial and non union who gave up two days pay to be a voice for those who haven’t been given one. No programmes from Hull for 2 days. Obvs we would rather have been doing the job we love but we felt this was important. We hope you agree.

We just stopped BBC DG Tim Davie at picket. He faced challenging questions @BBCLondonNews & @BBCRadioLondon journalists who are striking over plans to replace many Local Radio shows with national ones. He said it’s to do more digital. @NUJofficial says it’ll diminish local radio.

Every picket line pic, tweet, address to MPs shows passionate professionals sacrificing more pay to fight for a service to others. What’s more BBC values than that? If I “led” these people I’d fight to my last breath to champion every last one!

Licence fee payers were not asked their thoughts on the changes to Local Radio. These are our thoughts. Radio/Tv/online colleagues standing together for a 2nd day of strike action. Change is needed but not like this. #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal @NUJEastYorks @NUJBBCRegions

Hollowing out local news provision undermines our sense of place and feelings of community. Support the @NUJofficial strike. Save BBC Local radio. @NUJBBCRegions #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal

Supporting each other through the good and bad times. Big personal sacrifice when you both work for the same organisation but we’re both passionate believers in serving our communities.
