Bacon’s afternoon show attracted criticism for its content, which was classified by the BBC Trust as “news”. Rival broadcaster Talksport made a general complaint in 2010 to the BBC Trust, claiming the BBC Radio 5 Live station was not providing its mandatory 75% news output, “with many items falling outside of the remit, such as ‘entertainment-based interviews’ and listener-generated features.” Talksport’s complaint “particularly singl[ed] out Bacon’s two-hour weekday afternoon show for criticism”, finding in a poll that only 20% of listeners considered Bacon’s show to comprise “news”. In their response, the BBC Trust rejected Talksport’s complaints, but admitted that a review was required to develop “‘a more nuanced method of monitoring the proportion of news output’ on 5 Live compared to the current system, which counts the whole of Richard Bacon’s afternoon show as news”.
