and watch on iplayer. a number of viewers, though, have told us they don t believe a news channel is the right place for a phone in show. here are two of them. we now have the option of watching either a radio phone in programme which is simultaneously broadcast on radio five if we wanted to listen to it or switching to a competitor s news coverage. none of which hold a candle to the bbc s normal offering. so between nine and 11 am, every weekday morning is now a news desert. we ve also lost a number of excellent news presenters, the likes of anita mcveigh and martine croxall, who brought empathy and interest to their broadcasts. and whilst i know that the bbc in these straitened times have to save money, surely there are other ways in which this can be done without losing the fundamental quality of bbc news coverage. if i wanted to listen to a radio phone in or even participate, then i go to the radio and television news and bbc news is a particular medium which is important
audiences or some audiences at least one that pre build to a story and we get that through data. of course thatis get that through data. of course that is not always an exact science and sometimes we get it wrong. we are obviously not perfect in that regard. at the same time would you want to deliver a high story count and the viewers who want to take the other subjects and issues as well. if you think about it hard, when there is a big story we know that there is a big story we know that the audiences want to immerse themselves in it that is part of the logic behind what we are doing. we are conscious of this and we always try and strike the right balance. paul real, thank you so much. thank you for all of your comments to speak. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio and social media, e mail us. or he can find us a twitter. you can call us. do you have a look at previous interviews on our website.
