The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Cockney Sparrow]

I just mute the sound. It's a terrible, commercial TV type of intrusion. Of course I sometimes forget to.turn it back on. They don't care about the counter- productive effects, all that matters is self promotion .

I don't understand the Jess Gillam trailer. The idea seems to be to attract younger listeners to R3, but in order to hear the trailer, wouldn't they already be listening to R3?

He announced when introducing Respighi’s Violin Sonata , that it is thought that it had never been broadcast on R3 before.
