"to face facts - this is a mainstream BBC station"


Not sure that?s strictly true


I know it (desperately) wants to be


I know they have spent years since the GLR days diluting and diluting (BBC LDN indeed!)


But it?s never been a big draw, much less a ?healthy mainstream audience?


And a city like London should have an odd local BBC station reflecting the mix and curiosity of the city and let LBC take care of the commercial side of things


Bracket BBC London in with the 6 Music and Radio 4s and nurture interesting things . As a station I?d be surprised if it cost as much as the glossy Radio 1 ads alone

I'm with SJ. If it's going mainstream then you scrap it and let people listen to Radio 5 or whatever or, given the remit of the BBC, you let some of the more outlying stuff, especially when it's around a unique talent such as DB go on and ignore the commercial/ 'audience' figures bit. I suspect he's tricky to 'manage' tho

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
