Management's cuts to #bbclocalradio mean that there is less truly local programming+lost audiences. Changes to the #BBCNewsChannel mean that in the later evenings it serves a US more than the UK audience, who, nevertheless, crucially, pay the licence fee which funds the BBC. 2/

Essential listening, IMO. Bryan Lanza is a #Trump adviser and a regular guest on @cfraserbbc.bsky.social’s #TheContext on the #BBCNewsChannel 231. He suggests return of #Crimea will not be supported. But what about the post-2022 #Russian #invasion seizures?
