The Future of On the Wire

"Steve, Jim and Fenny would like to thank everyone who has sent message of support for On the Wire to the BBC Trust. The consultation period is now closed.
We are not yet clear what will be the impact, neither will we be for some time to come. It may be that any changes that are in store for local radio will have an inevitable effect on the programme. In any event we will keep you informed either via this site or on the show itself. Thanks again for all the encouraging words you have written about On the Wire, its clear that the show is well valued by a lot of people in Lancashire, the North West, the UK and across the world. The music will keep on coming .............
