News about Jason Horton

MPs attacked the corporation's proposals yesterday, leaving a swath of shows facing the axe, with one critic predicting that the broadcaster was "ripping the heart out" of these services. Different regions have been encouraged to increasingly share content at specific times of the day, which is a crucial element of the scheme. Both 39 local stations will continue to receive their own dedicated programming between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m., but beginning with the broadcasting of new shows, all 39 local stations will continue to be shared between stations from then on. The changes will enable the BBC to invest more money into improving its local online services. When they appeared before the digital, culture, broadcast, and sport committee, the BBC's director of nations, Rhodri Talfan Davies, and England director Jason Horton were met with outrage yesterday.
