The campaign to show support for the corporation has been launched by lobby group 38 Degrees and is response to comments by Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, over the weekend that the BBC could face a cut in the licence fee.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph the Tory MP – and Culture Secretary – warned that the corporation had tough decisions to make and that it would have to cut back on its spending; especially if the licence fee was cut. Today 38 Degrees has launched a campaign aimed at saving the BBC – ala the campaign to save 6 Music from the axe – and is asking people not only to tweet #proudofthebbc but also to email/write to their MP’s.

 

Twitter users have already rallied to the cause and have tweeted and re-tweeted the slogan.
