Primaries

And the 2012 DG campaign is being fought out even in the feature pages of The Cumberland News - an interview with COO Caroline Thomson. 


“I think we got the local radio proposals slightly wrong,” admits Caroline. “Because I see the Radio Cumbria people a bit and listen to it a lot, I perhaps clocked that quicker than other people did within the BBC. I was up here during the Whitehaven shootings. I know how important the staff were. We’d tried to protect local radio. But we hadn’t protected it enough.”


New readers, please note.  The DQF decision, now being reversed, to share local radio programmes in the afternoons and evenings came from Helen Boaden's News Division.
