If you took over from Roger Wright what would you do ?

Make Radio 3 more intelligent.

[Roehre]

An excellent suggestion SC - I've already mentioned French modern composers neglected by broadcasters and concert promoters over here, and one could add the numerous Italian and Spanish post-WW2 composers seldom if ever aired like Petrassi. I really do hope that somebody at Radio 3 is taking note of some of the brilliant ideas being expressed on here.

There are excellent East- and West-German, Dutch, Belgian, Czech and other post-WW2 composers around too, I'm sure

[Roehre]

I agree with many of the earlier suggestions. I would sack, the research staff and those who look after the website which is truly shambolic and replace with those who actually have pride in their research and web design standards, and also remove the following presenters; PT, SMP, CBH, KD, SR & RC. Mornings restored to what they were in the early 90s, complete lunchtime concerts not chunks from various ones, greater cooperation with other radio stations internationally to present a variety of concerts from around the world and also increase the coverage of concerts from around the UK generally. Restore the full length Discovering Music, ditch the film music programme, and broaden the repertoire throughout the day, stop copying CFM, and ensure all composers who have anniversary years are all treated fairly. Fight with determination to raise the R3 budget and improve the image of 'classical music' across the network generally. A ban on broadcasting Slavonic and Hungarian Dances for 10 years!

I couldn't have my feelings better expressed than hey are here

Increase the jazz coverage by two hours to be broadcast, at a listenable hour, with a new announcer/presenter

Including live jam sessions, I hope?

[Paul Sherratt]

Decimate the number of new releases being played in the 'world' slot and greatly increase the number of announcer/presenters

[Paul Sherratt]

Possibly !

[Paul Sherratt]

Dump that ' Breakfast ' show

[Paul Sherratt]

Banish most fixed points

Create a poetry programme with an assortment of announcer/presenters which would include John Cooper Clarke

Have an early Late Junction.
Two in in the daytime
Two in the evening

But of course....
