Back track

I predicted trouble back in November, over the BBC's plans to end news and sport text services on the Red Button. Were the savings really worth it ? Now the Director General has put the closure on hold, after pressure from deaf groups and Damian Collins MP.

🆕 JUST IN: So pleased Tony Hall has agreed to my request to suspend the @BBC’s decision to end the Red Button service 🔴 I’ll be meeting with him and groups representing those most affected to discuss the best way forward @NFBUK @BDA_Deaf pic.twitter.com/WXaRbbyuFL
