just for clarification, does one swich off because one doesn't like the Lark or because one doesn't like PT?

well hope over experience i guess; most especially the maundering meander of PT and the LARK AGAIN and it's habit innit ...actually what i need is PT and the LARK AGAIN every time i light a ciggie ... now that would be of use ....According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Have I remembered correctly that it was at the end of that period that Andrew MacGregor began introducing that show? For me he set the gold standard for that time of the day - in content as well as voice.
'On Air' became 'Morning on 3' with Penny Gore and Edward Seckerson (later, Martin Handley), I think, in Sept 1999.
Something like that, anyway. Yes, Andrew was the highpoint for the morning presentation for me too.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.

When I was doing my music degree in the 1980's I did listen to radio 3 , I found all sorts of things there via programmes like Mixing it and late night New music programmes which I listened to as well as Peel etc , Radio 3 got me interested in all sorts of music that was outside the mainstream
it was also one of the places to find some of the music we were studying
my daughter who is now at University doing a music degree never listens to Radio 3, she listens to and plays loads of different music including the mainstream repertoire that R3 plays endlessly.
The world has moved on in that sense, people studying music use the internet to find recordings they go to concerts but don't really do the "sitting down and listening to the radio" that many older folk do. This DOESN'T mean that "classical" music is less popular just that people listen to it in different ways.
One thing I realised a long time ago was that there really isn't (apart from Resonance FM) a Radio station for people who want to discover music they didn't know anything about , again that's the way the world is and those of us who are interested in that have to find their opportunities elsewhere !

Switched on this morning at 7.45am and got a time check and a news summary. Just what I wasn't wanting.
I don't like the references to Twitter. In fact, I probably hate Twitter more than any invention of the past 25 years. It has knocked the hadron collider into second place.
I don't wholly dislike Petroc but the way he does smooth is approaching caricature.
Was it my imagination or did I hear something about nicknames for composers the other day? Calling Mozart Mozzer. That kind of thing. I'm being serious. Hopefully I was asleep and it was a dream.
Are they doing weeks of Petroc with Sarah and weeks of Sara with Rob? I haven't worked that one out yet.
I'm not overly keen on Sara. There are some very good women presenters on Radio 3. Unfortunately none of them are in the main time slots.
Those who say Weekend Breakfast is better are wrong. I'm not very keen on Martin Handley. As for Clemency Burton-Hill, she's got to be the worst of the lot.

Vote for a better future - R Cowanthe blesséd Rob Cowan (and read that adjective how you will) whom I hold personally responsible for the inexorable downhill slide of Radio 3 mornings
Thus does the BBC get away with murder: whatever they do, some like it, some hate it. So they go on doing what they want ...It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
