As we type, NUJ officers and officials are mulling over some last-minute movement from the BBC side on planned cuts to local radio output. A 24-hour strike is set to start at 11am tomorrow, and one senses that the spirit of solidarity has been emboldened by the events of the weekend past, so it might also impact BBC tv's regional news output.
Meanwhile, one of the petitions asking the BBC to reprieve the BBC Singers has reached 110,000 signatures. Entertainingly, the edited consultants' review which is said to drive the decision doesn't use 'Singers' at all; the summary by Rachel Jupp, Editorial Lead, BBC Content, described as a review of the 'classical music eco-system' is also 'Singers'-free.
