When will this petition close?
This petition will close at 5pm on Friday 17th March after 10 days - 1 day for every decade in the build up to the BBC Singers Centenary in 2024. 

I am delighted to have seen over 80,000 signatories sign this petition since it started only three days ago. It is a sign of how much the BBC Singers are admired, respected and appreciated across the world. 

Keep signing, keep sharing!

Please continue to sign and share it with your friends, families, colleagues and on your social media channels. We need to keep pushing the numbers of signatures up and up to express a strong and clear public response against this decision by the BBC.
