Save BBC Switch!

Opened on March 02, 2010 | Contact Petition Author

**THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE BBC'S 'STRATEGIC' PRINCIPLES! You don't have to fill every section, but please let them know they cannot close Switch- https://consultations.external.bbc.co.uk THANK YOU!***/departments/bbc/bbcstrategy-review/consultation/intro

'Switch is basically a bunch of stuff on TV, Radio, online and your mobile. It's for people that like funny, random, cool shows and who want to get involved. ' (find out more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/switch/ )

As you may know, I was fortunate enough to be able to do my work experience at BBC Switch, and it was AMAZING. I learnt so much about writing and broadcasting, and I had loads of fun meeting Master Shortie, and going to the 5:19 Prom with JLS! I've since been back and had the opportunity to meet more people such as Ke$ha and N-Dubz. But the BEST people at BBC Switch are no doubt the staff, who work endlessly to bring us the best entertainment, and now the BBC wants to axe them?! They're the only part of the BBC which caters for teens, by providing radio, web and television content.
Seriously, all they need is a better Saturday slot and more publicity, so please sign the petition below, and help Save Switch!

Ian J. Martin20Falmouth, CornwallWithout BBC Switch I wouldn't have stumbled across what is now one of my favourite shows, The Cut.
Sarah Maxted44HertfordshireUnbelievably short-sighted!
Timothy Gibson56EdinburghBizarre that a public service broadcaster abaondons youth in this way. Firstly because they need catering for as much as and perhaps even more than any other sector of the population, and secondly because they are potentially such a huge audience with so much long term potential for the BBC. This is an area the BBC should be concentrating on and trying to develop, not cutting back on!
Megan veit15cambsI use switch every day. I cannot afford for it to close!
