Evening Music Shows Axed!

Despite listeners' protests BBC East Midlands have axed Folkwaves, Mick Smith's Country (now broadcasting here! ), Celtic Fringe (See Radio MIMF coming shortly!) and Jazz Incorporated shows after many years of broadcasting. The shows will be replaced with a 3 hour programme that appeals to a "wider number of licence fee payers in the East Midlands" providing "more accessible local radio in the evening" that can "react to breaking news."

The decision to cut the music shows has been taken by the BBC East Midlands, therefore if you feel strongly about these changes, Write Now : Stuart Thomas, Head of Regional and Local Programmes (HRLP), BBC East Midlands, City Link, London Road, Nottingham, NG1 3JB

Update - We understand that Helen West's Country Music show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire has finished on Sunday 19 Dec as her contract has not been renewed - listen to final show. The first specialist music programme cut announced in the latest BBC Local radio rescheduling was DJ Ritu's world music plus show "A World In London" for more info see Save DJ Ritu's Show Facebook
