Jeremy leaves Points of View

Vine, not unexpectedly, is leaving Points of View ....

.@theJeremyVine announces he is leaving @BBCOne's @BBCPoV: https://t.co/JBbP16s6Ij

— BBC Press Office (@bbcpress) July 1, 2018

"Points of View will return to BBC One for a new series in the Autumn. In order to refresh the series and allow more time for audience feedback the show will no longer be presenter led."

How is that going to work?

Oh god, are we going to get a different viewer presenting it each week?

Or maybe voice over done by someone without much of a public profile?

We're all set and ready for the wonderful @theJeremyVine to take the @bbcPoV hot seat once again to give us your Points of View! pic.twitter.com/eavCkA9hhG

Well it was blummin good fun whilst it lasted (10 years!)

I wish the proper right to reply would come back. It's not great the current pov. And to only have 20 eps a year is poor. It really should be two 15 blocks or 3 10 blocks. And some of the speical piece are poontless..

Arguable though in the days of social media it doesn't really have a huge purpose - any comments or rants seem so after the event and the input from BBC staff really doesn't add anything considering their general dismissal of any complaints. It is Sunday afternoon filler and that's about it.

PoV is more of a "this is what the viewers think about something [language on EastEnders, overrunning tennis, Oneness, the language of Oneness during the tennis on EastEnders, etc] and this is what we say in reply, aka shut up and go away" type show these days.

This might be a more suitable replacement for PoV though:

Social media was probably the reason for the points of view forum closing. i.e. more people were using social media than the forum.

Can a MOD not move this POV discussion to an appropriate thread please..
