Not only do @bbcintroducing support and promote new artists, they also train the future workers of the radio industry. Regional diversity is integral to balance within the industry. Removing local shows, presents less opportunities for local voices to break through nationally.

Fair play to Rishi for admitting he was wrong and paying the fine. We all make mistakes and he is just a normal guy, cut from same cloth as rest of us. No one wants to be forking out £100+ for a daft mistake we've all made, especially not in a cost of living crisis. Proper bloke.
