What do you think of the new plans?
The Conservative chair of the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Julian Knight MP, also said he had "very real concerns over potential loss of local distinctiveness through these proposed cuts".
The BBC said it would maintain its overall spending on local services but move £19m from broadcast services to online and multimedia production, including delivering "a wider range of local audio programming" through BBC Sounds. About 48 staff posts will be lost, although that figure includes 40 resulting from the previously-announced closure of the We Are England TV documentary strand.
On Monday, BBC director of nations Rhodri Talfan Davies said: "The plans will help us connect with more people in more communities right across England, striking a better balance between our broadcast and online services and ensuring we remain a cornerstone of local life for generations to come.
