The BBC has continued to make changes to its radio stations which included some local radio stations being changed or shut down.

However, its recent announcement to launch new shows with “new sounds” on its X, formerly Twitter, account has left some furious.

The official BBC Press Office account posted: “Plans announced for new, distinctive digital music station as extensions for Radio 1, Radio 2, and Radio 3 on DAB+ and @BBCSounds.

“They will delve deeper into specific genres and periods of music with context, curation and storytelling.”

It didn’t take long for furious BBC listeners to make their opinions clear and quickly left comments underneath the post.

One furious listener exclaimed: “Why do you all seem to delight in wasting our money on things that aren’t needed?

“We just need the old Radio 2 back & actual local radio. I know your management types are on too much money and feel like they need to justify their existence but there was nothing wrong to start with!”

“Horse has bolted I’m afraid. You should have left #R2 as it was,” a second echoed with a third adding: “Perhaps Radio 2 shouldn’t have axed the shows that already played this sort of stuff? Just a thought.”
