Key shows are expected to be maintained at BBC Radio Merseyside despite the corporation’s move to shake-up its local radio services.
Earlier this week, the BBC confirmed plans to change how it operates its regional radio stations, with its 39 locations expected to share shows and 48 jobs to be lost across the service. In Coventry and Warwickshire, the station will broadcast a show shared with Hereford & Worcester and Shropshire on weekday afternoons - based around 60 miles away.
The ECHO understands that under the new plans, Radio Merseyside would retain its own breakfast show, mid-morning programme and weekday afternoons programme. Live sports programming will not be affected by the changes nationally.
