Poor old Mark Murphy just got that gig on the weekends.

That would suggest individual output from 2pm. Match commentary ok but Life's a pitch would be no more?

There needs to be a bit of fuss made about this.

There must be the equivalent of Life's a Pitch across the country.

Indeed, our return will be rather short-lived.

The cynic in me says this is just a way to focus control of the message that goes out to the wider country to the powers that be. The Tories are truly in with their grubby mitts. The output of the last 7 years should tell you that much. Destroying the Been has long been an aim of the Tories via advice from Cummings/Tufton St.

Stick a complaint in man.

The BBC need to not be alienating its supporters at this time. There's people who want to dismantle it so they think it a good idea to upset its remaining users. It makes no sense.

If it does, then I urge long standing contributors to phone the BBC and complain

And do ensure your comments are long winded, do repeat yourself often and above all try not to make much sense

What I pay licence for is for the BBC to cover their local teams and provide decent commentary and that is that they do, send a commentary team to cover 4 day County Championship matches across the country, football teams up and down the league get their team's radio coverage free-to-air, our licence fee keep the Brenner and Mick Mills equivalent for their respective teams keep going.

It’s probably a bit late for that. This is probably a result of the licence fee settlement agreed by Osborne in 2015 that resulted in the BBC needing to find £1BN in annual savings. That should have allowed them to increase the licence fee in line with inflation, but then the settlement under Dorries this year has frozen the fee.

Worth complaining I suppose as they’ll be making choices based on demand, but they can’t avoid the cuts.

Given you are levelling the blame at the Tories

I might point that you appear to be missing a letter in your final word

10% inflation has not helped either.

But the Daily Mail and the like will be very pleased, not least because it boosts their friends in the commercial sector.

Absolutely, Phil. It's a fantastic show and one I try to listen to every time, whether on the way to a game or otherwise. Indeed, it's something that makes up for Brenner and co no longer being available for those of us who don't live in Suffolk.

I don't suppose there would be a way of reviving through another outlet such as a commercial station, Ipswich Community Radio or even the club itself, when things are fully in-house. But perhaps it would just not be commercially viable.

Voices still need to be heard though.

If as licence fee payers we feel we're not getting the service we desire we should say so.

At least that would be something for someone somewhere to show customers aren't quiet and complacent.

We don't make enough noise do we? Why are we so accepting?

It hasn’t, and the govt knew inflation was a problem when the latest deal was struck earlier this year.

If the 2015 deal had been fully honoured, the licence fee would be £190 now instead of £150something. That’s £1BN a year less in real terms, so there’s bound to be cuts/changes. They could sack Gary Lineker to save half of it!
