Its impact on the music scene since 2007 has been enormous - not only breaking the biggest names in the music industry, but shining the spotlight on the incredible local scenes and those brilliant artists that would never want a #1 record. A true outlet to shine a positive light on some of our most creative talent. While the @BBC reprioritise money for online and to create a new team of investigative journalists, local music scenes are to lose out. Opportunities for up-and-coming musicians will be scaled back to just two hours a week in regional shows taking in multiple counties across large parts of the UK. The hours are to be stripped right back and most of the current presenters have had to reapply for their jobs - with many of these people who live and breathe their local scene not being offered anything in the restructuring. The true extent of the restructuring process can be seen on the map here: https://freshonthenet.co.uk/brokenback/ @NileRodgers and @Merck_Mercuriadis said, “we have had the privilege of traveling the world which gives us an incredible perspective to how amazing BBC Radio is to the success of music throughout the world.. Its mandate is to play new music and new artists so you’re always going to hear ‘what’s next’ before anyone else gets to.. Not only British artists but global artists too and for many years the first port of call for today’s superstars has been BBC Introducing.. It’s an essential part of turning today's wannabes into the culturally important phenomenons of tomorrow.”」7月29日 3時01分
