Sadly the new DG has no background in broadcasting..like arriving in a foreign country without being able to speak the languageβ¦the layers of managers will try to please him and have offered no intelligent direction for yearsβ¦and L Nandy doesnβt seem to get whatβs going wrong:

The composer George Fenton has died at the age of 76.
His music included Blue Planet, Planet Earth and multiple movies - Baftas + Emmys and received five Oscar nominations.
He composed BBC TV news theme tunes including the memorable Newsnight music.
For those wondering what I was up to in the Houses of Parliament yesterdayβ¦
Weβre proud to share the launch of the Lumo and Hull Trains Social Mobility Impact Report 2026, in partnership with the Purpose Coalition.
The report highlights how rail can be much more than a way of getting from A to B, exploring the role that Open Access rail can play in connecting communities and supporting social mobility across the @LumoTravel and Hull Trains routes.
Watch highlights from our report launch!

Great fun to have gathered these user-generated clips for @LumoTravel and @Hull_Trains into a video celebrating the great partnerships they have. Fun, irreverent and sometimes cheeky- just the way we like it!
What have Lumo and Hull Trains ever done for us?
Weβve partnered with some incredible people, businesses and charities across the communities we serve, and weβre incredibly proud of what we've built along the way.
For us, itβs about more than getting people from A to B. Hear from some of the brilliant people and organisations weβre lucky enough to work with and see just what Lumo @hull_trains have done for them.

Itβs election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.
Who's that geezer..... If you can to Hull this is a great addition to the city
Thereβs just one day to go until the grand reopening of the @HullMaritime Museum on Queen Victoria Square!
Weβve been lucky enough to get a special preview ahead of tomorrow as part of our commitment to championing Hull and all it has to offer.

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton
John was a local legend- I Worked at Swansea Sound from 1984-6. Sometimes after a breakfast shift Iβd lounge away the afternoon on a sun drenched Gower beach then pop to Johnβd and bother him for a cup of tea.
Hello Derek. Just saw the news about John (the weather) Powell's passing. Very sad. He was a part of our family holidays in SW Wales and thereafter when I studied in #swansea. A natural for radio and someone who knew his subject. A sad day. @DerekTheWeather

I was made redundant by Reach because (and I quote) I was resistant to change because I argued for reporting of local news and against clickbait. EVERY ONE of my fellow journos no longer works for Reach. Iβm one of very few still in the industry. Reach caused immense damage.
Excellent on board service on @LNER 07:01 NCL to YRK. Always great to see happy smiling crew - even on early departures!
