Quote: from Venusian on 11:27 pm on Feb. 5, 2007[br]Surely the move to Manchester is designed to cut costs?
Agree about the junketing at the World Cup, it was a scandalous waste of licencepayers money. Was there any BBC journalist who didn’t go?<br>
Move to Manchester is probably designed to save costs and probably be less London centred.<br>However London is the capital city and  seat of government etc. so whether the news service and quality of programme is improved is debatable.<br>Where I was coming from was what BBC will do with those staff and presenters who choose not to relocate. Redundancy package? Redeployment? Costs there

Perhaps Robnorth is right and they should just close the station down, the news and current affairs element is covered better by Radio 4, and the sport is 90% football, which Talksport does. Live sport could go on Radio 4 medium wave – they already do the cricket on it.
Also, a lot of their broadcasters like Allen, Garvey, Campbell and Mayo are just far too pleased with themselves for my liking.

Not wrong there. esp the first two. They are unbearable
If five live was reporting on the liberation of the concentration camps they would probably say the inmates were wearing Newcastle tops :angry:
The BBC website lists just 71 presenters just for the Radio 5 channel.
Maybe just maybe any of the 71 that face the chop from being sent round the world to cover F1 racing, Aus tennis, American golf etc etc wanted to keep a job in the media they could apply to replace the 146 jounalists so far who have lost their lives covering the events in Baghdad.<br>
