        It really annoys me that R3 keep Tweating about TTN when it's only 4 hours as if they're doing us a favour.
        I've started #FreeTheTTN2 - ready for it to take R3 by storm

          Oh, I SAY! Will it go viral …?
          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.

            What do we want?
            Two hours back!

            At one o'clock!

              Nice one!

              I know to avoid the offending time slot so have never heard the replacements but from cursory glances at schedules, the presenters’ silly nicknames are offputting enough… Slack Alice or similar (with her Waterfall of Sounds or whatever).
              "...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..."

                We already knew this, but R3 is being deprived of those two hours so that 'marginal' R3 listeners (who don't bother with the main R3 output) are just listening at some chosen time convenient to them - proof that that's the very intention: today's Piano Flow is "Music for dreaming on a winter's day: Relax, reflect and drift away on a winter's day as Tokio Myers brings you a playlist for drifting off on a winter's day". That seems to be pretty clear to me: it's for a winter's day. At 1 o'clock in the morning. Surely there are two hours somewhere else on the BBC's online provision other than on R3?

                  Doesn't it come back to the excuse we were given when they first started this erosion process, namely that it has to be broadcast before it can be made available online? As R3 has a small audience and is a niche station it's the obvious one to cannibalise for that purpose, as there won't be an embarrassingly large and public outcry, and certainly no risk of political interference.

                    I don't think that last bit was the excuse they gave!

                              As always with these listings there is something I don't know and yet again it makes me wonder about why we can't have more of these lesser known works/composers(particularly the latter) scattered through the daytime schedules - heaven knows there is enough space in the current bits and pieces model of R3 programming by the time Afternoon Concert is added to the morning schedules. The EBU Christmas day of music is another window onto a different repertoire that shouldn't be as foreign as it is.

                                Crumbs! I thought you'd been listening to "Tearjerker, Downtown Symphony, Piano Flow, Happy Harmonies and other Saturday padding" and wanted to hear Crooked Underwear or Rudi and the Nosepickers on AC
