John Fray wants us to use letters, emails, text, Twitter and – for goodness’ sake – Facebook, in an attempt to save Oxford’s local BBC TV news service.
I’m not sure I agree that the local Beeb “has been an overwhelming success” but I’m with him in condemning “ITV’s excuse for regional news”. (Although if I experience a burning desire to find out what’s happening in Winchester, I know which channel to switch on.) However, given that Mr Fray wrote to the Oxford Mail, perhaps he ought to be urging folk to continue buying this very paper rather than watch the gogglebox?
