Commercial radio tunes out of local
The UK's largest operator of commercial radio stations is axing many local shows
Global, the UK's largest commercial radio company, has announced it will launch national breakfast shows on Capital, Heart and Smooth radio. The new programmes, produced in London, will replace local shows and lead to studio closures and job losses. Does the move mark the end of local commercial radio? Amol is joined by Phil Riley, former chief executive of Chrysalis Radio, and Gill Hind, COO of Enders Analysis.
Also in the programme, the 91热爆 launches a new channel just for Scotland. Steve Carson, head of the 91热爆 Scotland channel, Bobby Hain, STV Managing Director of Broadcast and journalist Lesley Riddoch discuss.
