Dotun Adebayo Sunday show on BBC Radio London is back on

After reports that Dotun on Sunday on BBC Radio London was being dropped, it’s now been decided it will continue.

In an email to staff on Thursday, BBC Head of Local Radio Chris Burns announced Dotun Adebayo will continue to present his Sunday evening show.

It said: “I just wanted to update you re Dotun’s show on Radio London. Dotun has had a meeting this afternoon with the management team at Radio London and will continue to present his Sunday evening show.”

Dotun announced last weekend that the BBC was removing him from the Sunday evening show after 20 years, against his wishes. The programme covers London’s diverse communities and the issues affecting them.

In a tweet today, Dotun said the leaked email was correct, simply writing: “I can confirm this. Thank you for all your support.”
