A good move for Rob given his lamentable miscasting in recent years - but a real loss of his best talents (which R3 seems to have been determined to ignore)
Any enhanced role for IS has to be the equivalent of a few drops of precious water in the current weekday morning desert..."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Perhaps they'll take Suzy Klein as well.
In music world where Anton du Beke and Nick Knowles have both just released albums anything is possible. I kid you not!
But take Suzie Klein and not KD, surely not.

Suzie Klein rather than KD surely not.
I wonder whether Rob will find himself contractually obliged to wax lyrical about albums by Classic FM luminaries Alexander Armstrong and Katherine Jenkins.

Classic FM's version. This has clearly been brewing for a while. Who knows? Perhaps a beneficial shake-up for the turgid Ess. Cla.? A big move for Skellers.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.

A welcome side-effect of any exodus may be that Radio 3 is forced to rehabilitate the likes of James Jolly and Jonathan Swain, and perhaps promote the excellent John Shea from his nocturnal ghetto.
