Blanket

Crikey, the last act of BBC deputy DG, Mark Byford, is certainly not about doing fewer things better. As co-ordinator of coverage of the Royal Wedding, we expect him to provide a blockbuster on BBC1.  But four radio networks doing their own coverage ?

On Radio 1, you'll get the incisive insights of Vernon Kay and Scott Mills.  On Radio 2, you'll get the A to B range of emotions from Chris Evans and  Ken Bruce.  On Radio 4, you won't be short of  phrase-making, from James Naughtie and Ed Stourton; and on 5Live it'll be Tweets-a-go-go with Richard Bacon and Victoria Derbyshire.  No wonder they're spending money "upgrading studio equipment to cope with multi-source coverage of next month's royal wedding".  Is it ALL necessary ?
