Ah! I was thinking of Twitbook, Facetweet and such like ... as, I suspect, were the creators of the Jobspec: it would be nice to think that one could get a BBC-associated job (if one should so wish) after declaring that one posted regularly to the Forum.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Particularly the bit about "core classical repertoire".
"This is a significant part of Radio 3’s weekday daytime schedule and should aim to hold on to as much of the breakfast audience as possible whilst drawing in new listeners from the post-Today Radio 4 switch over. It should also be an entry-point programme to appeal to listeners with a broad interest in mainstream classical music.
[...]
"The programme should feel inclusive and informative... Presentation should be light and brief, without in-depth musicological or complicated biographical detail (which is more suited to COTW which follows)."
It's that word 'avid' [NB Agree with ferney - It's job-related social media, Fb and Twitter, oh, and the Essential Classics blog. Haven't looked at that for ages ...]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.

It is interesting that there are news bulletins throughout Breakfast, but at the most sensible time to programme such an item, there's an almighty scramble as the two presenters try not to trip over one another in the handover. "Clemmie, get out of my seat, quickly please." "OK Rob. Ouch! you kicked my ankle twice last week and now it's my shin. "
Heaven forbid we should have a news bulletin, think for ourselves, etc. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL IDIOTS?
EDIT
If I'm being a little unhostly, I'll willingly amend/delete.Last edited by Eine Alpensinfonie; 16-09-14, 13:07.

This is what the standard R4 listening pattern looked like:
(The red line was ten years ago, but if you check with five years earlier - the blue line - the pattern is near identical. And the current pattern is likely to be not dissimilar.) 2014's Rob Cowan is 1995's Paul GambacciniIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

If such a thing exists, Frenchie, it would be interesting to see a comparison of R3's listener audience size before and after the entry of CFM onto the scene to see if, indeed, CFM snaffled any of R3's audience or created a new one - which, it would appear, R3 now chases.
(You may well have these things already at your fingertips and posted elsewhere but I, for one, probably missed it).O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!
