A new feature will be the BBC investing in "visualising" programmes based on popular radio shows, starting with the BBC Radio 5 Live Nicky Campbell programme, which will be broadcast on BBC Two on weekday mornings, as well as on the UK stream of the new channel.

Sounds like the BBC developing their own gammon phone-in to rival GB News.

Fundamentally different things. Radio is about making the listener feel as if they're being talked to personally, while TV is about reaching out to everyone in the audience. Besides, radio is quick and dirty and much easier to improvise than the telly.

I must admit I'm confused by "Visualising radio shows" means.

Think watching James O'Brien on YooToob, or maybe the BBC Shitecasts.

It could kind of work if it wasn't just sticking a camera in a radio studio but also had on-screen info, ticker etc. The RTÉ News TV channel has an in-studio camera relaying RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland programme.

(In saying that, RTÉ's News channel isn't comparable with the BBC's).

I've never listened to Nicky Campbell 5 Live programme, is it really Fascist propaganda? If so, it's odd that I never see the Far Right promoting it on social media, in fact don't think I've ever seen it mentioned by anyone at all. The Far Right hate the BBC which they regard as a hotbed of wokery and everything they despise.

Certainly not Fascist.

It leans heavily on populist talking points, and more than once has had a phone in "Just for Tory Voters".
Campbell himself is a clever, and sympathetic man, but the show that bears his name has moved in a very tabloid direction.

"What about those striking train drivers, eh!".

Well, in that case, I can't see it attracting the Gammon or being a rival to GB News.

This sounds grimly probable. Even when the BBC do something well, they feel the need to do it shit as well because that's what the people want, or something.

Tubbz, you may need to explain that post to me.

Specialist correspondent doing a decent job reporting. Self-appointed "expert" brought on for discussion.

Seen it with Brexit and much else. Here's Nigel Farage.

[Bones McCoy]

And again we're seeing the unholy alliance between the Tories and the Press.

6 weeks ago Trans issues were minority issues, and the likes of Badenoch and Braverman would be considered moonhowlers.
Now we have a mainstream issue/story and a parade of paid lobbyists masquerading as experts.

The ratchet drops and the Overton Window clicks over to one more place for the worse.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

If I could I would like this post.

Nadine and the Fourth Estate have got the BBC exactly where they want it - shit-scared of its own shadow.

Oh, for a latter-day Reith to come along and say "d'you what? Fuck off and leave us alone", as he did to Churchill in 1926 when Churchill wanted to take the BBC over to broadcast anti-strike propaganda.

Reith would roundhouse kick this sorry lot into the Thames through Traitor's Gate.

There's a happy image for drifting off to sleep.

I love the way that the Mail and other downmarket tabloids have spent years moaning that lots of the BBC's stars were earning too much money and now that some of the stars like Paul o' Grady are quitting the BBC either because of pay cuts or because they are fed up of having their pay splashed across the papers the Mail is now moaning about all the talent leaving the BBC.

Christmas lights, innit?

Spend money on them and you're wasting taxpayers money. Don't and you're a Scrooge intent on banning Christmas.

And some shock jock will claim that they're really Commie Winterval or Globalist Channukah lights

Last year he was appointed to the BBC’s board by Boris Johnson’s government and has since influenced a series of ongoing reviews of the broadcaster’s editorial output.

Maitlis also raised concerns about the BBC’s relationship with the Conservative government, saying the broadcaster went out of its way to “pacify” Downing Street after she criticised Dominic Cummings for his breach of lockdown rules during the pandemic.

The presenter said the corporation’s bosses panicked after Maitlis told Newsnight viewers in 2020 that Johnson’s former aide had “broken the rules” and “the country can see that, and it’s shocked the government cannot”.

Maitlis said the programme initially “passed off with a few pleasant texts from BBC editors and frankly little else”.

She added: “It was only the next morning that the wheels fell off. A phone call of complaint was made from Downing Street to the BBC News management. This, for context, is not unusual.

With great joy* and a glass of fizzy water to wash out the aftertaste of the benzos, I look forward to Amol Rajan treating us all to the unbridled benefits of mushroom clouds.

(That'll be before the weather and some stupid lass doing her best uppy-downy voice like an EasyJet first officer.)

* Not really.
