Radio 4 in partial U-turn over cut in short stories
From the Guardian website:
BBC Radio 4 prompted an outcry from listeners including Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley after it announced it was going to axe the number of short stories it broadcasts from three to one a week. Now the station appears to have performed at least a partial U-turn after confirming it would retain a second weekly slot for the short story format.
Hooray! Well, sort of. While this does feel like a good thing to have happened, literary programming on the station has still been cut. There are still fewer short story slots than before.
