Each BBC local station will probably be left with their own weekday breakfast and drivetime show whilst all other shows (daytime & overnight) will be simulcast over bigger regions. So maybe all Yorkshire, Humberside and Lincolnshire will receive their other shows from Leeds.

As an exile I get radio humberside via an internet radio. Already there is a warning on other BBC channels that this service will no longer be available by mid year. Will this be true of local radio too?BBC player is not available outside the UK including Ireland.

Quoted from Mappers


I have always liked Burnsey even though he's a Town fan who covers Hull you can tell he cares about The Tagers , us and our neighbours .

His programme is half decent to , it always made me laugh when he had our former custodian on ; he talked rings around him (you could argue that was never hard ) and i always remember when he asked JF  (about the new stadium ) 'so how are you planning on funding it fella ?' and our Johns answer was 'because we will ! '
That pretty much summed up the 20 year stadium pipe dream.

Hopefully Big Burnsy gets fixed up somewhere else .


Always liked his match reports and interviews with managers of all the local clubs. He asked questions that JT would never dare ask

He may well retire. Been there for ages so should get a good pay off.

I haven't always agreed with some of his stuff and his views but as a local broadcaster he's spot on. The BBC need to look at itself if they're happy to lose relatable people like that.

Let’s be honest the local Football is one of the few times we’d listen to Humberside.

The BBC and whichever government was in charge at the time made huge mistakes when it came to digitisation .
With their Brand Reputation and Back catalogue of thousands of quality programmes with should have been bigger than Netflix and Prime etc  put together with a world wide platform they could charge for.

They are miles behind other streaming services and really never capitalised on the open goal they had back in the day

Will be able to continue to pay exorbitant amounts to St Gary so beloved on here ( oh sorry I meant to the partnership with his ex wife) and the other ‘talent’.
