I've not read the 55 preceding pages, but scanned new entries now and then. Forgive me if this is repetition. We are aware that R3 (or R4,2,6 etc etc) are not their own fiefdoms - there is an BBC layer - manager - (Director no doubt) over all BBC music output. Hence there must be house styles, "directions of travel" etc - you know the sort of stuff evident in the all too true satire on W1A. I'm sure that R3, adapted to its audience, has to show how it is contributing to BBC Music wide initiatives.
Could this programme segment be a response/contribution to this:
“BBC Radio 1 has launched a new streaming service called Relax, Roger Bolton hears the views of listeners and asks the Head of Radio 1, Aled Haydn Jones, whether it really is public service broadcasting, and how he can afford it.”
(Per Feedback, Radio 4, 30 Apr 2021). https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vjp0
I listened to feedback at the time, and IIRC the material would also be used in podcasts or some such retrievable on searching “Sounds” and thus represented value for money.
Could be that these programmes are R3’s contribution – offered fully of free will, or in subservience to “the initiative”.
