The radio and podcast producers' body, Audio UK, has observed what happens to BBC radio drama and comedy when you take away quotas.
The last BBC Trust Operating Licence for Radio 4 required 600 hours of drama to be broadcast in 2016-17; the BBC’s last Annual Plan committed to just 300 hours of drama on Radio 4 for 2022-23.
There has also been a 17% fall in annual comedy hours committed to by Radio 4, from 180 hours in the last BBC Trust Service Licence to 150 hours in the latest BBC Annual Plan.
