Why such personalisation / ownership?

It happened on the radio - but when I was a child that would have been the Light Programme or Home Service (I wasn't 'privileged' [sic] enough to have known the Third Programme].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.

Might it not have exactly the opposite impact on including listeners i.e. 'well, mate it may be yours but it ain't mine, so hoppit!'

I'm mildly concerned that on TTN, conductors are sometimes not credited, and occasionally no artists mentioned at all. I hope this is not a trend.

Originally posted by french frank View PostUnder Roger Wright this was encouraged. Before EC began, I think, I queried why there was so much emphasis on crediting the presenter when others* were unnamed, why a photo of the presenter rather than a performer? I mentioned the 'and my next choice for you' or 'and next I'm going to play' routine and he told me it was a good thing for the presenters to feel it was 'their' programme.

I must be missing something here, but I don't quite see why Prince Philip's death should mean the omission of the usual Sunday Breakfast Sounds of the Earth slot, particularly as much of today's schedule is otherwise back to normal. Does someone in management think it disrespectful to listen to Nature?
