BBC RADIO NEWS ALLOWS "VOICES" OTHER THAN PRESENTER'S

I note on news bulletins from BBC Radio News that there are many additional "voices" other than that of the presenter. I object.

Currently, several "public" radio stations in Utah carry BBC Radio News at various times during the day and night: KCPW-FM, KUER-FM and KBYU-FM.

Much of the appeal of the BBC news bulletins is the careful and precise articulation of the voice of the presenter. Allowing other voices to be heard weakens this appeal and makes BBC similar to all the other radio stations that sometimes have two or three extraneous voices on one particular news story.

Please, BBC, stop the degradation of listeners' experience to BBC radio news. These extra voices are hard to listen to and even sometimes unintelligible.

No more voices on any BBC news bulletin other than that of the presenter.
