The BBC was accused of ageism yesterday after a leaked memo revealed that phone-in presenters on a local radio station have been barred from allowing callers who sound old on air.
Mia Costello, managing editor of BBC Radio Solent, told her broadcasters: "I don't want to hear really elderly voices."
These are the hard working men and women of Britain who worked all their lives to build this country - including the BBC.
What's behind this crass move?
Mr White, who lives in Winchester, said he believed station bosses were "rattled" by declining audience figures.
Industry figures show that Solent has lost a quarter of its audience share in the last year.
So what if you're paying the BBC's wages, eh?
