Campaign to save the BBC Asian Network

The campaign to save the BBC Asian Network is in full swing and here at Punch HQ we are actively supporting to save the station by helping with flyer distribution, online lobbying and encouraging people to fill out the petition online.

Save BBC Asian Network

The BBC have proposed making massive cuts including closing two radio stations BBC 6 Music and BBC Asian Network and halving the size of its web site. It’s on the brink of surrendering to pressure from commercial rivals, who are lobbying politicians hard to impose even deeper cuts.
