Cheshire journalist Louise Bolotin, who has been leading a vociferous campaign for the creation of a BBC website and radio station for Cheshire, is to appear on BBC News 24 in March to present her case.
Anywhere but Cheshire
It seems a combination of angry Cheshire ratepayers contacting the Beeb combined with Bolotin’s ongoing campaign, has prompted Ray Snoddy’s media Newswatch team at the rolling news service to interview Bolotin about her efforts.
The programme is due to be aired on Friday 7 March. It is believed that Hugh Berlyn, head of online news at the BBC, will be guesting alongside her.
However, Bolotin is still adamant that a dedicated website for Cheshire is and should be feasible – “particularly if counties such as Suffolk are able to command their own sites.”
It is thought that Cheshire will be represented in some form in the BBC’s plans for 60 plus localised micro-sites but Bolotin remains convinced that unless a site is created, the BBC’s news coverage of what affects the one million plus residents of Cheshire will remain disappointingly poor.
