Anonymous Patron writes “The Press Gazette reports and put the local back into local radio when it launches its new station, BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, at the weekend.
In an experiment which will be keenly watched by BBC local radio managers, the station will have four content producers based across its patch in Stratford upon Avon, Rugby, Nuneaton and Leamington.
The producers will broadcast from libraries within their patches, which will have BBC branded booths linked to the station, or from specially equipped vans when they are out covering stories.
The idea is for the journalists to gather, produce and present material from their own area without having to go back to the station’s headquarters in Coventry.”
