Reading in the Sunday Times that nobody wants to run the Today programme anymore and management at the BBC do not understand the value of the programme. I get the sense BBC management have decided they prefer his stuff which has been cropping up on their digital platforms:

The BBC at its finest. Anna Foster. Orla Guerin. Faisal Islam. I would trust what these dedicated journalists say over Dave on Facebook any day, don’t you reckon? They follow in the footsteps of the likes of Kate Adie, Michael Buerk and John Simpson.
Faisal Islam@faisalislam

On the ground across the Middle east like no other broadcaster, a BBC news special now anchored by Anna Foster in Dubai on the war with Iran, including Orla Guerin in Iraqi Kurdistan… our defence teams, and myself on the crude oil price shooting up to $94 a barrel, fears over jet fuel and fertiliser and ructions in global government debt markets as inflationary wave expected incoming after Qatar’s energy minister warned of Gulf energy export shut down.

As David says, there are many excellent programmes and programme elements on BBC local radio still - presented and produced by talented people - but those ‘at the very top’ need to realise just how important local radio actually is to many.
📻 David Lloyd@DavidLloydRADIO

New research indicates a third of BBC local radio weekly listeners aged 45+ believe ‘the BBC has ruined its local radio stations’. Almost half of weekly listeners aged 45+ (47%) say they are not as distinctive as they were. davidlloydradio.com/post/research-…

@LauraPh222 @RobBurl @back_the_BBC Absolutely. They’re undermining such skills and experience at every level, diminishing ability to deliver public service remit now, and removing those who would coach, train, encourage and mentor the talent of the future

@RobBurl @back_the_BBC The BBC needs your expertise, in my view. *Long form*, hard hitting ‘old school’ interviews - holding politicians properly to account, testing their vision for the country and how they are enacting/would enact it. Not sofa journalism.

The one good thing about being axed by the BBC is you no longer have to worry about being axed by the BB. It's exhausting and I feel for those going through it.
Michael Savage@michaelsavage

NEW: Big changes happening inside BBC. Depts being smashed together to make "BBC Media Tech" - all part of restructure/savings plans I revealed last year. Also, Leigh Tavaziva, chief operating officer, leaving. Senior staff restructured. Change coming ahead of charter renewal.

25 years ago today, 10 people died in the Great Heck train crash after a car driver dozed and veered off the M62. I was presenting on the local radio that morning and my colleagues and I remember in the latest issue of @RAIL railmagazine.com/features-landi…

I thought the same. Many BBC Local Radio afternoon/weekend news bulletins are recorded up to 20 minutes earlier by a journalist at a different radio station, not in the local area. The BBC has made cuts but does have resources in the regions and they could use them better.
📻 David Lloyd@DavidLloydRADIO

As a supporter of local news, is it not puzzling that @ofcom is requiring commercial stations to provide local news at least hourly from journalists "physically present in the area" - whereas BBC local stations only have to have bulletins "at frequent intervals" with no requirements on location.

Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said: “Announcing what amounts to major cuts is wrong and premature. The NUJ...urges the BBC to put its time and energy into attaining a sufficient and sustainable funding settlement [through Charter Renewal]." nuj.org.uk/resource/nuj-d…
