What are people's views on the withdrawl by commercial radio, and to an extent, the BBC from local broadcasting in England?

Its a shame as it is highly valued by some, particularly the isolated/vulnerable. As a public service broadcaster its exactly the service the BBC should provide. However a consequence of freezing the licence fee for years, and constant attacks from the Govt.
Commercial Local Radio has always been crap, no loss there.
