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.

For purely personal reasons that need not concern board members, I had a listen into 6 Music yesterday morning.
It was just like listening to R3, but with rock " classics" instead of classical warhorses.
Presenter led chat with "celebrity" guests, music of a dull, unadventurous, predictable nature, irritating and pointless.
Paul Sherratt suggests it is better at other times of day though.
It would have to be.
Very depressing.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

It's like all BBC music stations in that weekday daytime programming is aimed at general listeners and the more specialist programmes are broadcast at other times.

I think this is what's called a circular argument.
Will we get any further if we try to define a general listener/programme?

I've never claimed any inside knowledge. I have none.
I'd be very surprised if you don't all understand broadly what is meant in common usage by "general" and "specialist" in relation to listeners and programmes.

It is called 6 music.
But its content seems to be chat and classic/easy listening rock. Its daytime programming is for people not yet old enough to listen to R2.
More "specialist " programmes means programmes aimed at people who are actually interested in music, not music to hear in the background while they work.
Why do specialist pr0grammes have to be on at midnight, or outsied peak hours? What research is there that indicates that this the way to build audience, or serve the stations remit?
Apologists for low quality thresholds do none of us any favours.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Is this just a rumour?
The Controller of Radio 3 is responsible for its strategy.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.

Is that correct ? Is there currently no Controller of Radio 3 ? I had been assuming he was in place until September.
