The power of the complaint can only go so far because it's circular - people complain about Local Radio cuts, so they won't take the cuts as far, but then they have to find cuts elsewhere (e.g., Newsnight), which people then also complain about...I’m well aware the cuts need to be made but just accepting it means nothing changes. It feels very much as if it’s just accepted as one of those things whereas if people actually start complaining more and the bbc management actually grew a pair and stopped hiding behind this digital bbc nonsense and said we are making huge cuts due to the governments decision to freeze the license fee and this is what it means for you as the viewer people may start contacting their MP.
Instead we have a situation where the bbc, too scared of the repercussions if it calls the government out, hides behind the “digital bbc” plan making it look like they’re choosing to make these unpopular cuts and therefore getting the blame for it. All its doing is turning more people against the organisation when they have no option. I sometimes think they need to go for a shock tactic and announce the cancellation of something popular and big saying that the governments freeze has led to it and unless funding is increased there could be more.
They also need to stop this cutting a bit at a time because it’ covers the severity as the publics memory is short. If they had some one announcement on the everything it would have a far bigger impact on the general population and more people would have noticed.
