A year into the streamlined Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ complaints procedure, Roger Bolton talks to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Trustee Richard Ayre and hears his views on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's recent £98m loss.
It's a year since the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ introduced an improved complaints procedure. And the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Trust, which exists to protect the licence fee payers' interests, has just reported back on the new system. Their public consultation shows that most people now think the system is working well. But some Feedback listeners still think there's room for improvement. Roger Bolton speaks to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Trustee Richard Ayre, who is in charge of reviewing the complaints procedure.
And Richard Ayre gives the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Trust's view on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's failed Digital Media Initiative (DMI). While we were off-air, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ announced that it was scrapping DMI after spending £98 million pounds on the five-year digital archiving project, a sum amounting to almost 700,000 licence fees.
Plus, which programme is sending feline Feedback listeners into a frenzy? Roger speaks to renowned wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson about this pressing issue.
