The @BBC You and Yours team have been helping shine a light on the issues in the energy system for years. It’s a vital show and should be spared the axe. Sign the petition

From the forced prepayment meters scandal to the RTS switch off and from Winter Fuel Payments to energy scams, You & Yours has provided vital airtime to discuss and analyse energy issues affecting millions of people in recent years. This is the wrong decision by BBC bosses.

Latest (multi-platform!) offering from You and Yours - the ICO's investigating a big spike in those 'add me on WhatsApp' calls you might well have been getting bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqd0

Axing You and Yours means BBC bosses are cutting off another strong voice for energy customers across the UK. From forced prepayment meters and the Radio Teleswitch (RTS) switch-off to Winter Fuel Payments and energy scams, You and Yours has shone a light on energy issues affecting millions of people. Given that energy giants have made over £125 billion from their UK operations since the energy bills crisis began, scrutiny of the industry, practical advice and a platform for people struggling with their bills is essential. We’re calling on the BBC’s Director-General and Board to save You and Yours, protect its place in the Radio 4 schedule and grow its impact and reach through the BBC’s digital channels. Help protect this vital voice for consumers. Sign and share the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio

The NUJ BBC Audio chapel said: “The BBC’s decision to cut You and Yours alongside other much-loved TV and radio programmes utterly undermines the BBC’s core mission to ‘act in the public interest’ and provide ‘high-quality and distinctive output.’” nuj.org.uk/resource/bbc-cuts


BBC cuts to radio undermine Charter mission and harm audiences, says NUJ

The NUJ said it is “alarmed” by news of further cuts across BBC Radio and warned that following through would undermine the broadcaster’s core mission and harm audiences.
