“BBC announces Radio 4 cuts: You and Yours to end, new consumer show planned” — what this page in the network covers. BBC Entertainment Oct 8, 2026 • 8:30 AM 1 views The BBC has confirmed it will axe a number of Radio 4 programmes, including the long-running consumer affairs show You and Yours, as part of ongoing cost-saving measures. The corporation said it will invest in a new consumer programme, but did not specify a launch date or format. You and Yours has been a staple of the Radio 4 schedule since 1970, offering advice on money, legal issues and consumer rights.
Its closure marks the end of an era for daytime speech radio. The BBC said the changes are necessary to meet savings targets while modernising its output. Other affected programmes were not named in the announcement, but the move follows previous rounds of cuts across BBC local radio and news.
