BBC Four presenters rally to save channel amid closure rumours
BBC Four presenters are rallying to save the arts and culture channel which is rumoured to be facing closure as the corporation looks to cut costs and invest in younger audiences. BBC Four, which has an annual budget of 44m, attracts a small, niche audience of mostly older viewers to its schedule of shows, although it was responsible for creating the hit comedy The Thick Of It. Rumours that BBC Four could be under threat have been circulating for some time as the corporation has made it clear that its goal is to pursue younger audiences increasingly slipping away to rivals such as Netflix. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comThursday 14 May 2020, AM

Times Radio Launch – Matt Deegan Writes
Times Radio made their first announcements this morning outlining some of the key shows which will launch their new radio station. The relaunched Virgin Radio with the nation's most popular DJ, Chris Evans, who swapped from Radio 2 to Virgin Radio with, to all intents and purposes, the same show, could probably be held as the high water mark of what can be done quickly on digital radio - in a year he's added 1million listeners to take that station to 1.5m. To hit those numbers would be unexpected - and a triumph, but would still have you at 15 of Radio 4. - www.mattdeegan.comwww.mattdeegan.comSunday 26 April 2020, PM
