Talking of the oldies in the county - the lowest covid figures are in the 60 - 79 group - we don’t get around much anymore!

Any spacing and/or puctuation curriosities result from the copy, paste and editing from the EU Noturno site.
Plenty of scope for emoting, there, I should have thought!
Like others here, I hate the idea of encouraging people to think of classical - or indeed any - music as a resource to be deliberately mined for self-manipulation, whatever the desired emotion to be released might be.

"The network's target audience has been redefined and broadened and the schedule began to be recast to move towards this during 1999."
This seems to mean, "We are no longer going to focus on the station's classical music audience. For various reasons we shall target alternative audiences with a broader range of a music [Late Junction dates from this era] and audiences who have not hitherto had an interest in classical music."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.

I complained to throughthenight@bbc.co.uk (given here) about the 2 hour Saturday cuts & took a punt on Alan.Davey@bbc.co.uk (which may not be right for the controller of R3) as well.
Bill Nicholls has been helpful in the past and was (Lead) Producer 'Through the Night' 1999-2020 (according to LinkedIn) - not sure if he stilll is.
This media centre page has an Alan Davey quote:
"We know that younger audiences are discovering orchestral and instrumental music through streaming cross-genre playlists, and find it not only enjoyable and enriching, a time for discovery, but also relaxing and calming and helping to manage their moods."

Well, I'm accustomed to switching off the radio at 7 am on Saturdays; I'll just have to make sure it is now switched off earlier at 5 am. I'll listen to the sounds in my own head instead, probably a healthy exercise.

I'd forgotten about this and have just seen it when checking today's schedule. Fortunately(sort of!) I had woken at 1-30 this morning and, unable as is too often the case to go back to sleep went downstairs and put the radio on to listen ti TTN. Back to sleep after 4 and back up at 7-45 having missed Tearjerker. I may be one of those lower life forms that listen to the morning programmes, but I really don't want that collage style in the wee small hours.
