Music on TV Aaaarrrggghhhh!

[teamsaint]

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.

Point of information: Are there regular pop music programmes on television now?

I think they've been superseded by 'talent shows' where people wanting to become popstars recycle pop songs to a jury?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

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.

Isn’t tapestry a finished product and embroidery a skill?

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.
