Petition Details

Stop the BBC from closing down Radio 4 Extra, a radio station that costs next to nothing to run, just playing endless repeats from the BBCs archives from the very start of the corporation's History to the present without the interruption of NEWS.

Additional Information

Radio 4 Xtra is the perfect sanctuary from the problems of the modern world with the absence of any news bulletins with classic comedies like Hancock’s Half Hour; Around the Horn, Old Harry’s Game, Claire in the Community, and so many more… Please ensure this channel remains on the air waves.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Decisions about what content the BBC should broadcast, and what platforms to make BBC content available on, are a matter for the BBC and not the UK Government or Parliament.
