What the petition asks
Some BBC 6 Music big-wigs have made the disastrous decision to move the long-running Radcliffe & Maconie show from weekday afternoons to a retirement slot on weekend mornings from January 2019.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
