In her program, the former presenter of Radio One harshly criticized the heads of publicly funded corporations for the rationalization of local radio services.
However, the segment appears to have been cut from the program and deliberately omitted from the catch-up service on the BBC Sounds app.
In anger, she took matters into her own hands and posted an audio recording of her monologue online on X – formerly known as Twitter.
In her post, she added: “The BBC decided to cut something I said on my last radio show today.”
In her on-air speech, she fumed: “Something that has always bothered me is when an individual has any platform and doesn’t use it to represent others at the time they should.
“Local radio is a vital public service.”
“And it is my view that these drastic, across-the-board cuts to local BBC radio stations across the country are not only damaging to everyone who enjoys tuning in to their local station and listening to their favorite shows, but are also damaging to the local communities that support it. appreciate and use.
“In fact these cuts are incredibly unfair to those who need the local public service most.”
The radio personality even admitted to crying while speaking to her fans in her local area.
She exclaimed: “And if you think that sounds dramatic, I wish you could be directed to some of the conversations I’ve had with listeners in recent weeks that have brought me to tears.
“The BBC’s mission, as defined by the Royal Charter, is to act in the public interest, serving all listeners.
“I’m going to say this as I see it: I think the cuts are able-bodied, age-related and create economic barriers for some people.
“I felt incredibly nervous saying that, thinking about the many bosses above my head and how this goes against all the training I’ve ever had in the 15 years I’ve been here.
“But I remind myself that this is not their BBC. It is our BBC. Like all our public broadcasters, it exists to serve you, so it must be scrutinized and held accountable to protect its own integrity.
The Treasure Quest format allows listeners to solve puzzles to send the hosts on journeys around the UK.
Paul Hayes headlines the show as ‘The Questmaster’ alongside Sophie and Julie Reinger.
The BBC has announced that localized programs will be broadcast on weekdays between 6am and 2pm.
