Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

No. We just thought it. I'm getting rather tired of the hype. It's all about them - not the music.Originally posted by Sir Velo View PostDid anyone mention gimmicks?

My recent exposure to other radio stationsOriginally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post would suggest that Radio 3 believes that it has a potential audience which does indeed feel that the presenters are the point of any programme. Radio 1 and 1Xtra become quite manic to the point where it would be easy to forget that they play music from time to time. There may well be be audiences that do want to <gulp> meet yer actual DJs and presenters and exchange chummy comments with them, but there's little evidence that they're greatly attracted to Radio 3. It would be better to stick to the music and try and raise the standards there. In my view.
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

I'm all too happy to meet with a couple of them when we can, thought the talk is seldom directly related to Radio 3. I'm not planning on visiting them in the glasshouse. Might meet 'Pataphysically on April 6th though.Originally posted by french frank View PostMy recent exposure to other radio stations would suggest that Radio 3 believes that it has a potential audience which does indeed feel that the presenters are the point of any programme.

I think they take the view that as 2.4 million people buy The Sun, dumbing down must therefore work for Radio 3. Not a well thought out policy.Originally posted by french frank View PostMy recent exposure to other radio stations would suggest that Radio 3 believes that it has a potential audience which does indeed feel that the presenters are the point of any programme.

Oh! I'd love to meet them. They probably wouldn't like what I have to say though!

A glimpse might well be appreciated form time to time, but this is more like a ducking stool. There's no escape from it for weeks on end.Originally posted by James Wonnacott View PostComment
