It's always seemed odd to me that the BBC have two speech networks and they both have a mixture of news and other things. Why not tidy things up?
Can you really imagine something like Victoria Derbyshire's programme, as good as it is, being shunted to Radio 4?
The 2 stations are completely different formats... they're both 'speech' and both have some bulletins but that's as far as the similarity goes

How about a BBC Radio 4 Talk Extra on digital radio?

I listen to a lot of Five Live but it irritates the hell out of me when they drop all programmes for sports events like Wimbledon and Golf.
You see this is part of a deeper issue that I've raised before.
You don't associate news and recipes. So why associate news and sport. Sport is not news.
So yes, I'd be very happy to see news and sport separated in some way.
