Campaigners protest at planned cuts to BBC Radio Foyle
Around 250 people attend a public meeting at the Guildhall in protest against proposed cuts to Radio Foyle. The BBC has said it remains committed to Foyle as a production centre.
Politicians, clergy and community leaders were among about 250 people at a public meeting to protest against proposed cuts to BBC Radio Foyle. The proposals are part of a wider plan to close 36 posts across BBC Northern Ireland with eight news staff at risk of redundancy at Foyle.
Output including the award-wining Breakfast Show and hourly news bulletins would be cut. In a statement, the BBC said it was "committed to Foyle as a production centre for local and regional content". "The savings plans we have announced affect many different people and teams within BBC NI. Our engagement with them is ongoing."
