This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about BBC radio content are a matter for the BBC, not the Government or Parliament.

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.

This means the Government is not responsible for decisions relating to BBC radio coverage.
