Editorial process relied upon in respect of NOLAN

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

The BBC Sounds application hosted a version of The Nolan Show (BBC Radio Ulster) on Tuesday 6 April 2021.

This programme, as available through BBC Sounds, had been edited such that the contribution of Mr. Tim McKane was not present.

An article published by the Irish News cites that a BBC spokesperson said "Programmes are sometimes edited before appearing on BBC Sounds.

"This is a routine process, based on relevant editorial considerations."

This article is available at: https://www.irishnews.com/news/nlorthern... cites that a BBC spokesperson

I am requesting details of what the relevant editorial decisions relied upon to edit Mr. McKane’s contribution to the programme were.

I am requesting a copy of the unedited programme.

Yours faithfully,

RD.
