Originally posted by kernelbogey View PostThe same with the birdsong recognition feature. Martin solemnly said that as the DoE had died it would be postponed until next week. Incomprehensible! I was so irritated that I switched off. I'm a Sunday Breakfast regular listener, and and MH fan, but it was my only available protest in the moment.

A form will just be part of a bureaucratic process, and end up as a statistic.
I hope R3 producers and presenters will look at these forum threads, and take note. (Though, of course, they may be powerless.)

I think I may have made a mistake( I was adrift with what the time was which didn't help, and only half heard what MH said) as to which of the slots was omitted, as later there was sound of birdsong merging into a Mahler song. However the basic grumble still exists as to why any omissions were thought necessary.
I'm not filling in a complaint form (I thought I read yesterday that it has been taken down now?) but have written a letter(snailmail) to say how much I enjoyed Saturday's broadcasts, without the dumbtime early morning slots, and the intrusive and wholly unnecessary ADVERTS. I acknowledge that not everyone will have been happy at the loss of BaL and the evening opera relay, but I think most are able to accept that they will turn up eventually at some future date.

Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostI think that by far the majority of complaints are to do with the blanket TV coverage, and that (as you say) we R3 folk are in general if anything grateful for the changes, given that Stravinsky Day will presumably be rescheduled fairly soon.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostRe the Stravinsky Day, true, but only by the removal/rescheduling of whatever was originally carefully scheduled for that day. Listening figures for Radio 3 yesterday will be of interest. Will they have gone up or down. I suspect the latter, and not to a marginal degree.
As far as re-scheduling is concerned there are several hours on a Saturday which would arguably not be missed by those who would be wanting to engage with the Stravinsky Day?

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by LMcD View PostI don't think there's a radio equivalent of the overnight ratings for TV programmes, so we may have to wait a while. For some reason, Radio 4 Extra has been suspended and is now carrying the same programmes as Radio 4. I've no idea how typical, if at all, I am, but' it's a long time since I spent so much of a Saturday listening to Radio 3.
