Podcasting revolutionising radio world The BBC has been trying to shake things up ever since Radio 1 was bought out by Sony for a million pounds in 2003. It now has more than 40 separate radio stations – ranging from radio stations such as Bower’s and Oatways – to broadcast from the BBC’s flagship, as well as its own stations.

Mr Thompson’s explanation of why he ignored the dossier has been criticised by victims who say their information could have led to a prosecution of the presenter.
During an appearance on Sunday Night Live in 2014, Thompson was asked whether there is anything wrong with having a ‘dossier’ of allegations against Savile from a whistleblower – when asked about his stance he said:중국 마사지 “No.”
When asked whether it was right for him to take the stand on his programme, he replied: “I don’t know, let’s see if it’s right to answer that question. And what does it mean?”
