EMS online archive

[Guest]

The EMS page of the Radio 3 web site currently gives access to just two previous programmes via the iPlayer.

Am I right in thinking that recently there was online access to many EMS programmes from previous years? And if I am, why has that access been removed.

I notice the World Routes page currently allows 95 past programmes to be played via the iPlayer.

Now I (more than a little excitedly ) thought that this was going to be all about the VCS3 and Synthi :-(

Was there actually access to recordings of the programmes, or just details of subjects and playlists?

Anyone?

I don’t think there has ever been access to recording anything other than the usual seven-days listen again. The access to the programme information goes back … I don’t know how far but quite a few years.

Incidentally, there was a recorded concert of Les Talens Lyriques after today’s (Monday) Radio3 Live (from approx 9.10pm)

Caliban mentioned the new EMS podcast (and was ignored for his pains!). Given that, judging by the length, it has - as usual - had most of the music cut out (rights issues presumably), I wouldn't have thought the complete programmes would ever have been available on the iPlayer.

Thanks for the replies. I can't say for sure that I hadn't previously just looked at the series details, but somehow I thought I'd clicked a few and listened to programmes from some years ago. However I'm now doubting myself, which is why I posted to ask.

Seems odd that World Routes (a brilliant programme) has 95 episodes on the iPlayer while EMS - and most other programmes - only have episodes available from the last week. Let's hope all the WR programmes stay on iPlayer.

The EMS podcast is a welcome introduction, but I agree with previous comments that it is lacking in actual music.

Cheers.
