BBC Radio Manchester

EDM number 1764 in 2010-12, proposed by John Leech on 27/04/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Broadcasting.

That this House believes that BBC Radio Manchester is a much loved and valuable institution throughout the North West; celebrates its unique role in providing news and information across Greater Manchester; is deeply concerned that the BBC is considering reducing local radio output; further believes that such a move would undermine local radio stations as a whole and that if it were to happen it would be a huge disservice to communities in the North West and to the millions of visitors to the region who rely on the service; and calls on the BBC to maintain the current level of output from Radio Manchester.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
