OXON: Oxfordshire County Council has spoken out against BBC plans to cut its Oxford TV service.
In a report to senior councillors, officers state if the BBC were to close its TV operation in Oxford the council would lose an “important communication channel”.
The proposal to move out of Oxford is part of the BBC’s cost cutting programme.
If agreed by the council’s cabinet, leader Keith Mitchell will write to the BBC director general Mark Thompson and county MPs to express concern.
