BBC England have announced that regional news programmes will only have one presenter- this means that Roger and Annabel (with Owain!) in the studio together may be a thing of the past- we can’t let this happen! North West Tonight is a community show- it isn’t just news, and the presenting team make it feel like home. Don’t let them take this away especially after the way they have pulled the community together during the pandemic - it’s cruel and unnecessary to change a winning format in the name of cuts. This is an award-winning show- why mess with it? Totally unnecessary change from a corporation that is supposed to be moving away from London- this is completely going against that and effectively spells the end of regional programming on the BBC as we know and love it.

We all tune in every night at 6.30 and whilst they’ve been restricted during the pandemic we’ve been counting the days till the team are back together- please don’t stop this from happening! Save North West Tonight- we need Roger, Annabel and Owain!
