The BBC Radio Forum said remarks made by Jim Hawkins on his personal Twitter account had left listeners 'hurt and angry', and a BBC spokesman said today the comment was 'unacceptable'.
He said Mr Hawkins had been 'reminded of his responsibilities when using social media'.
He made the remarks on Sunday in response to a thread on the forum's website, in which it was suggested the nationwide Mark Forrest evening show which has replaced local programming would result in more people migrating to commercial stations.
