Radio 3 Unwind starts on the 4th of November

[french frank]

I would!

Do you mean you wouldn't enjoy chamber music to close the day's listening. Or do you simply mean: "I like Night Tracks" and wouldn't welcome any alternative? My 'Who would object?' question was designed to lure out objectors to explain why they wouldn't want chamber music? You wouldn't be deprived of Night Tracks as it would be on the Unwind stream.

Blow, blow, R 3 Unwind,
Thou art more unkind
Than list'ners merit ;
Thy sense is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
To gauge how ill we bear it.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
List'nership is feigning, most 'outreach' mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.


Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As listeners forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friends remembered not.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly...

Ideal text for a trailer should young Jackson ever offer us an all-request service called 'Radio 3 As You Like It'.

Brilliant

Blow, R3 unwind, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!

They could move Night Tracks on to that stream and clear the way for late night chamber music. Who would object to that?

Radio 4 used to have "Music at Night" (up to 1986, I think; and before R4 on the Home Service).

Can't help thinking that R3 Un-wind reads like an unfortunate flatulence cure-all.

[LMcD]

I don't get it... but I suppose all will be revealed on Sunday....

Radio 3 Unwind programmes are listed separately on the BBC's radio station Schedules.

.. and from me.

Relieved that TTN is still with us.

Many thanks Andrew.

It's a separate stream, on Sounds only, and can be ignored completely.

Many thanks Andrew.

TTN continues if you really don't fancy 'Sleep Tracks' (0030-0600) followed by 'Mindful Mix' (sounds like a considerate cowboy) over your breakfast.

[LMcD]

Replacing TTN? Surely not...?
Edit: perhaps not....

In case anybody is curious, the schedule for the first day is here.
