Journalists and supporter gather outside the Radio Foyle station in Derry to protest over cuts to jobs and programmes last November.
National Union of Journalists (NUJ) members working across organisation’s regional branch will walk out for 24 hours from 12.15pm next Friday.
The action has been agreed by staff opposed to proposed cuts to jobs and programmes.
The NUJ said: “An industrial action ballot of members delivered a strong mandate with 83% voting in favour of strike action, following the failure of BBC management to save valued programmes across Northern Ireland, and guarantee the security of journalists’ jobs.
“As part of cost-cutting efforts, the public service broadcaster is seeking £2.3 million in savings, cutting 36 posts alongside other potential job losses.
“NUJ members believe the BBC’s restructuring plans will impact resources and their ability to deliver quality programmes across Northern Ireland.
“For example, last month the Radio Foyle Breakfast Show was dramatically altered, now 30 minutes instead of its original two-hour duration.
“Communities across Northern Ireland have expressed dismay and anger over the impact of cuts to services, urging the BBC to rethink plans.”
Union officials have been engaged in negotiations with the BBC and has urged the public broadcaster to return to discussions with “viable options on alternative ways to make savings”.
The strike action will commence at 12.15 pm next Friday, May 19, and end at 12.15 pm next Saturday, May 20.
