Most of the emails & texts I hear being read out are from people expressing their opinions about music. Is that not what this forum consists of? or is it the amateurishness of the opinions expressed that we don't like compared to the expert, professional opinions expressed hereabouts? i.e. we wouldn't mind the emails if they were from professional musicians. Some of the emails Rob Cowan used to read out when he was presenting Breakfast seem to me to have been very similar to messages here e.g. recommending to him or discussing with him particular recordings

amateurism has no place in a professional broadcasting organisation.
would you go so far as to say that, ideally, none of the listener interactivity that currently occurs on the BBC, by way of phone-ins etc. on Radios 1,2,4 and 5 should take place?
I should imagine there were objections raised to phone-ins when they were first introduced to radio, whenever that was.Last edited by mercia; 20-10-11, 09:00.

The controller's disingenuousness (putting it kindly) is in saying that there is an evident 'appetite' for listener interactivity.Originally posted by mercia View Postwould you say that the BBC as a whole has been incorrect in thinking there is an appetite for audience interactivity? after all, it is all-pervasive in the BBC nowadays. I would think Radio 3 was the very last part of the BBC to 'let down the barriers' in this respect.do we consider the old BBC messageboards to have been a form of listener interactivity? I seem to recall 'conversations' taking place on them between presenters and listeners.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'm sorry but I really wouldn't expect to hear Petroc (or whoever) read out emails rubbishing the idea of interactivity along with ones that particularly answered his question.
"Thanks for all your emails, especially the ones telling me you hate my voice, hate the breakfast programme, hate texts, hate interactivity, hate the head of Radio 3 ...... keep them coming, always good to hear from you ...... "
even if that kind of email outnumbers the positive ones 10,000 to 1Last edited by mercia; 20-10-11, 14:49.

If people are tuning in to Radio 3 to listen to music, they don't want to hear listeners suggesting what 'short novels' they like; nor whether Jane Eyre is better than Wuthering Heights; nor difficult Scrabble words. It doesn't even reach the level of intelligent discussion, even if one wanted to hear about language and literature in between a movement of Beethoven's 8th and a Dvořák Slavonic Dance.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.
