Don't save BBC Asian Network

The BBC Asian Network, which broadcasts just five hours a day, costs £12.1m a year - all funded by license fee payers - but the national peak audience is only 31,000 adults - lower than when it launched seven years ago and 11 times the cost of Radio 1.

It might be cheaper to email each listener the five hours of shows they enjoy.

Is nobody interested in the BBC's squandering of all this taxpayers' money on minority broadcasting for immigrants? (Which wouldn't in itself be so bad, but it's minority broadcasting for immigrants that the immigrants don't even listen to?)

Scrap this waste of money now.
