I've moved our bracing little discussion of this to the right place:
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Good Friday
Well, what a pleasure to hear Martin Handley on a Friday - hoorah!
On the other hand... Breakfast could manage only the first movement of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater...on Good Friday!

Radio 3 presenters are to return to focusing on music, the station’s new controller has pledged, as he announces he is cutting controversial breakfast show phone-ins and extra news.Comment

"It is to give the presenters more chances to present the music,”
What a good idea!I have a medical condition- I am fool intolerant.Comment

And no news on the quarter hour neither. May joy be unconfined.Comment

It's an interesting development. I don't think Roger had a 'vision' for Radio 3. He had a strategy (or two) for getting more listeners for the station. That seems to be what - as a strategy - Alan Davey is rejecting.
It doesn't mean he doesn't want more people listening, that it wouldn't be a good thing to attract new audiences: just that such aims shouldn't be the station's daily fuel. It's about the music, about 'people being properly informative, in the right way'. And getting the station's 'tone' right: not just 'smiling down the airwaves'.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.Comment

Does this mean some presenters will be redeployed to other stations where their appearance/demeanour might be more relevant ?Originally posted by french frank View Post
I note also that more ROH broadcasts on Saturday evenings - maybe he could start to make better use of EBU links (eg at least 1 concert per week live from mainland Europe ?)Comment

Only two news bulletins per hour
No phone - ins.
Things are looking up.

I guess it could mean that they will be permitted to revert to presenting the knowledgeable sides of themselves for which they were originally taken on, presumablyOriginally posted by Frances_iom View PostComment
