Reinstate Janice Long & Alex Lester to overnight Radio 2 programmes!
Using repeats in place of real human DJ's after midnight on Radio 2 is shortsighted.
Both Janice & Alex provide a beautiful service to the people of our country that can't be measured in finances.
Night workers, insomniacs, students, lorry drivers, music lovers & the lonely NEED that human touch.
There is a night time world & a night time economy that should not be forgotten about, many of us take great solace & enjoyment from Janice & Alex's shows.
Replacing them with a loop of repeated shows is culturally myopic and not what the BBC should be about.
To the outside world the UK=Music, we should be providing more outlets for our bands & songwriters not axing a treasure like Janice with her vast music knowledge.
I'm sure people can suggest other ways Radio 2 can make these cuts ...
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.
