Isn't that the reverse of what they are trying to do here? Surely if you have an existing programme which is networked successfully you would keep it networked in the current scenario?

Weekday evenings from 6-10pm are earmarked to become regional (apart from sport) which is why the announcement that Stereo Underground is becoming Solent-only on Wednesdays doesn't seem to quite make sense - my guess therefore is that it will be extended to the two other stations in the South regional group (Oxford and Berkshire) once full regionalisation takes effect.

From what I can gather, the plan for all stations is for BBC Upload followed by BBC Introducing on Saturday and Thursday evenings (with Saturday's airings being repeats of Thursday's) which is why the programmes that currently occupy the Saturday early evening slot across the country are getting axed or moved to another slot - for example, a similar programme, Beat Surrender, which occupies the same time slot in the North East, is apparently being axed together.
