Well it looks the picket lines might be going up sooner rather than later.

Striking isn't going to up the licence fee settlement, so not sure what it will achieve.

Maybe not but it was invatable that the proposals would have lead to this at some point.

I can remember the strikes that brought Stephen Cole and Emma Crosby to the network news, and Helen Bowden the then Director of News filed reports.

I think the last strike we had was just after the Broadcasting house move and it was for half a day in 2013.

Are you referencing the 2005 BBC strike action?

Yep and the were 2 full days in 2011 as well so slight correction needed in that article.

I'll dig and throw it somewhere more suitable.
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - CATV - 20-01-2023
I fully support the strike. If it does one thing it will highlight the issue and make people aware. Many people have no idea the funding issue the BBC has right now. The BBC can't ask for funding help in a cost of living crisis. It would look bad. This way it gets the message out there.

Striking gets the message out there, yes. But it won't stop the cuts or achieve anything else. The license fee is currently frozen and it's not going to be unfrozen. If the areas in local radio and news are not cut, other parts of the BBC will need to be cut, or whole channels or radio stations shut instead. Or cuts to drama and entertainment.
The BBC has no more money. Albeit more people probably care about cuts to local radio and regional news than closing the UK news channel.
