Mr McIntyre had a quieter tenure [compared to that at R4] at the head of BBC Radio 3 from 1978 to 1987, during which time he phased out the laborious, analytical introductions that preceded each piece of music in an attempt to make the network more accessible. [My italics.]
Is this really an accurate account of the circumstances or is it an attempt, in hindsight, to show the current presentation style in a better light?
