Paul, the cost is not the issue. turnstone.tv could do the job tomorrow. The 'problem' is a small number of broadcast slots (expanding in TV thanks to BBC4, but dwindling in radio) and a commensurate number of incumbent suppliers who have a good track record, good relationships with the commissioning editors, good ideas, good networking skills, good contacts in the folk world etc etc. The door is not locked, but the corridor sure is crowded. Which is why I've only talked to my contacts so far and never wasted my time with a written proposal. Tom
