SUPPORTERS of the BBC yesterday hit out at planned Conservative cuts.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said he could “absolutely” see the pounds 149.50 licence fee cut next year – leading to fears the quality of BBC shows will suffer.
Pressure group 38 Degrees has launched a campaign aimed at preventing cuts.
38 Degrees said: “If we respond quickly with thousands of emails to our MPs saying ‘hands off our BBC’, we’ll make them realise that cuts to the BBC will cause a big political storm.”
Thousands of Twitter users – including BBC presenter Claudia Winkleman and comic Mark Thomas – wrote online messages saying they were “Proud of the BBC”
