IN PICTURES: Protest over BBC Radio Foyle programme changes and jobs threat

A large crowd attended a protest on Friday after the BBC confirmed the Breakfast programme is to be cut from two hours to 30 minutes among other changes.

The National Union of Journalists said 10 positions are still under threat at the Derry station and its members are to be balloted for industrial action following the BBC announcement on Thursday.
