    The BBC TV service licences only specify certain numbers of " Arts and Music " programming each year. I don t think anything is specified more closely than that ?
    The BBC 1 requirement is 40 hours PA.
    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

      I think they've been superseded by 'talent shows' where people wanting to become popstars recycle pop songs to a jury?

      And yes there are regular programmes - TOTP etc repeats ad nauseum on BBC4....

        An elastic term?

        (Thanks also to LMcD and ooo for replies )
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          Sorry I missed out " hours" by mistake.

          But in any case a great deal of the TV remit must be satisfied by Glasto and Proms scheduling ?

            Indeed - looking at the schedules for 13th - 19th Jan:
            Sat: Top of the Pops 1985; Great Guitar Riffs at the BBC
            Mon: The Everly Brothers: Harmonies from Heaven; TotP 1981
            Tues, Weds, & Thurs: TotP 1981 (possibly the same programme as on Mon?)
            Thurs: Play it Loud: the Story of the Marshall Amp
            Fri: TotP 1985 (?same programme as Sat?); Hits, Hype, & Hustle: An Insider's Guide to the Music Business (1/3); Radio 2 in Concert; Wild Boys: the Story of Duran Duran; The Joy of the Single; and repeats of the earlier TotP; H,H, & H, and R2 in Concert. Together with an hour-long The Good Old Days from the late '70s, all BBC4's Friday schedule was taken up by these programmes - nothing else broadcast from 7:30 until Close-Down at 3:30am.

            Unless BBC thinks that The Good Old Days is "Classical Music", not a minute was spent on anything from that/those repertoires - nor any Jazz or World Musics, for that matter.

              Embroidery is both a skill and a product of that skill. But it isn’t the same thing as tapestry

                The only Tapestry I can afford is by Carole King.
