BBC 3 phone mast programme

From: Eileen O'Connor
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 13:10:22 -0000

A few campaigners have contacted me today after phoning the BBC to complain. They have been informed that the programme on 'phone masts' didn't go out last night due to legal reasons but wouldn't tell them why. It did go out on Monday night on BBC 3!! However most people didn't realise it had been changed including me.

We need to persuade the BBC to put it on BBC 1 for everyone to view.

Website to complain in writing:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/make_complaint_step1.shtml or phone the BBC complaints line 08700 100222

The schedule was changed but not in time for the Sunday TV guides.

I wonder why?

OFCOM swallowed up the British Broadcasting Standards Authority so they also regulate the BBC !! First put it out on BBC3 and make sure no one sees it rescheduled! I hope I'm wrong; this business does make you suspicious!!

Thanks Eileen.

Complaint emailed to the BBC this morning.

Dear BBC 3 Tanks you for your reply

Several friends who do have BBC 3 have complained to me that the programme wasn't on. It turns out that in all the printed programme schedules it was scheduled to be shown on Tuesday night. It must have been changed at the last moment to Monday. This means that even if people did have BBC3 they probably missed it anyway.

Could you tell me if this is normal practice to reschedule at short notice for an earlier date?

It seems rather strange and given the difficulties of getting any stories on this subject into any media at all one does begin to wonder especially since the British Broadcasting Standards Authority have been swallowed up by OFCOM who now 'regulate' the BBC.

OFCOM also license the mobile phone industry. They have received £22.5 billion from the sale of the licences to the phone companies for the 3G network and in the agreement have stipulated that the companies must get the masts up by the end of 2007.

One does wonder?

Would you be so kind as to let me know the reason for the change in schedule at short notice and in the light of this give serious conideration to rescheduling the programme onto BBC 1 or2 (if OFCOM will let you!)

Yours

xxxxx


Dear xxxxx

Thank you for taking the time to contact the BBC.

Unfortunately, in broadcasting, schedules are often subject to change. We understand your concerns and have passed your email on to our schedulers in the hope they will give us a reason for the change. As soon as we have a response, we'll pass it on to you.

Kind regards,
