In a recent article on The Daily Telegraph Gillian Reynolds despairs in the slow choking out of the BBC’s audio drama department. In fact, the department will now be merged with “documentaries”.
Does the BBC not realize what they are losing? Audio drama across the Internet has been steadily on the rise. It has not been diminishing, it has been gaining ground with old fans and a new generation of listeners.
Please join me and others who love the BBC on the Speak Up For Radio Drama Now! facebook group and have your voice heard!
Jack, we appreciate you and your audience helping us out over here. It’s definitely worth speaking out because we are already getting feedback from the BBC ‘bigwigs’.
Excellent! Let us know what they are saying when you have a chance!
Cheers,
Jack and Shannon
