BBC Radio Lincolnshire Unveils New Lineup
The BBC Radio Lincolnshire has revealed their new schedule of programme hosts, starting from October 23rd. The majority of the presenters are already well-established names for regular listeners, ensuring a mix of both consistency and novelty for the audience.
Quote from Katrina Bunker, Senior Head of Production
"I'm really proud of the new line-up for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. We’ve got some terrific broadcasters who care passionately about the areas they serve. I know they'll be great champions for local communities and will love entertaining and being at the heart of the local conversation."
As part of scheduled cutbacks in local programming, all 39 BBC local radio stations will now share 18 afternoon programmes, commencing at 2pm on weekdays. However, news bulletins tailored to individual locations will persist despite these changes.
