Tributes poured in as a well-loved radio presenter bowed out for the last time after his show was axed as part of changes which critics warn will"slowly kill off local radio".David Burns presented his last Burnsy Show on BBC Radio Humberside after 12 years, one of a number of presenters acrosswhose shows are disappearing. The cuts were announced last October as part of an effort to refocus the broadcaster on a digital-first, multimedia strategy.
However many people have complained that removing unique programming takes the"local" out of local. The award-winning presenter is known for championing local bands and causes - such as saving Dead Bod - a painting on a shed at Hull Docks, once a familiar sight to passing seamen, which was about to be demolished.
