It is not only angered Radio 4 long wave listeners who believe the BBC’s plans for a 24-hour news service is a bad move, according to “Airing the Future” a debate on the future of the BBC, broadcast on Radio 4 yesterday.

Sir Robin Day opposed this view saying that he thought it to be “one of the few good ideas the BBC has had”.
