Contingency

I understand the need to protect staff, and to reduce commitments across radio networks, but the strategic decision to shift the burden of Radio 5Live programming to Radio London overnight looks odd.

From Monday, Radio 5Live will opt-in to Radio London from 0100 to 0500, featuring phone-ins with former Radio Leicester host Jim Davis on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the co-owned Dotun Adebayo, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 5Live listeners will also be treated to an hour of either Petrie Hosken or Jason Rosam from 0400.

Either 5Live is an important network hub, with a 24-hour presence and news operation, in a strong base giving resilience outside clearly-vulnerable London - or it isn't.
