Drama to be eradicated from Radio 3

[french frank]

Someone else who doesn't know much about R3?

It's a personal Comment Is Free but my kneejerk reaction is to cancel my Guardian subscription.

(I don't do kneejerks, but really The Guardian is generally pretty philistine. Music? Ho ho ho ho ho ho. Not.)

'Kate Maltby writes about theatre, politics, and culture'. But not very well. To describe R3 as 'dedicated ' to classical music is ridiculous since the change to snippets, trailers and chat. .

Client journalism is the scourge of modern life. Only a couple of years ago The Guardian, no less, described Elon Musk as a "fierce proponent of free speech." I think we all know where that one is heading.

Given her credentials I would have expected better. But Sam must be pleased that so many take his description of R3 at face value and repeat it?

Well it could be argued that he is a proponent for free speech - for himself?

Changing one's opinion of prominent Americans seems to have become rather fashionable for some reason.

Very good of you to subscribe when it’s free. They are always asking me to do the same though I had a Kindle subscription for years.
The Guardian has (or more likely had - they are always laying people off ) one or two columnists who’ve been consistently critical of the changes - one such article is mentioned in one of our threads . Stories on Radio 3 in the paper always seem to attract a lot of intelligent comments from readers - many of which could come straight from this thread.

Kate Maltby is she is the corset / Damian Green downfall story . (all on wiki )

She is a excellent at generating controversy . The headline, as so often , exaggerates a more nuanced article.
