Rejected petition Danny Baker's afternoon show must be re-instated by BBC Radio London.

More details

Danny Baker's afternoon show was axed on 1 November 2012. This action was taken by (to use the Candyman's own phrase) "reams of middle management" at the BBC's local station for London. It broadcasts on 94.9 FM and via other channels. This petition insists that DCM&S must bring pressure on BBC Radio London to re-instate him forthwith.
