Hmm. Yes, for example on the subject of Mahler symphonies, SkyArts 2 has limited the broadcasts to just 10 of them!
No 9 on now as I type, Haitink/Concertgebouw, in stunning HD.
I was interested that he used the entire double bass section at the beginning of the slow movement, rather than a solo.Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Anyway, shouldn't the 3 posts above be on the 'BSB' puffery thread? What are you doing here?

It seems we can't have any sort of discussion about Sky, even when it concerns the musical merits of performances we have seen, without some idiotic, juvenile jibe from Flosshilde.Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

This message is hidden because Flosshilde is on your ignore list.
Ah, instantly feel more relaxed!

When I looked for repeats they all seemed to feature mayor Boris. It's wonderful to have access to these Hay functions though - without getting soaked in the English/Welsh countryside.Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Just to clarify one point : I started this thread (and gave it the title) by hiving off some BSKyB 'comments' from another thread (see OP) and to allow some disagreements here if people wanted to indulge (argument = squabble). It is not the thread for discussing or drawing attention to Sky programmes. That's perfectly allowable and such threads should not be sabotaged by anti-Murdoch comments.
On the other hand - Sky viewers - be sensible () : please limit your comments to programmes really worth mentioning. This is the Radio 3 Forum not for people who spend their lives watching Sky Arts and using this forum as a promotional tool .............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.
