BBC Radio Merseyside show to end after decades on air

A long-running radio show will end in May after decades on the air, its makers have said.

The Popular Music Show on BBC Radio Merseyside will announce its cancellation on the show today at 9pm during its last regular programme. The show's makers said its cancellation was due to the "changes" in BBC local radio, and they would continue to produce the show on local digital station Melodic Distraction after their last BBC show on May 19.

On March 15, BBC Radio Merseyside went on a 24-hour strike after it was announced that local radio stations were to merge and share more shows.
