I've just been loking at tonights tv schedule, later on ITv, there is "ITV at the festivals", they show music from various rock festivals, like glastonbury etc, why don't they ever show any folk festivals, there is loads of them, the BBC show 1 programme about Cambridge folk festival on their digital channel, and thats it.

And radio, =there is 2 National Classical Music Stations in the UK, [BBC Radio 3 and Classical FM], a jazz channel [Jazz FM], dozens of pop and rock stations, but folk gets 1 hour a week!

on the digital output of BBC there is 5 Live Extra, that hardly ever broadcasts, they could use its frequency for a folk station, when its not broadcasting anything else, or alternativley, why don't they use on of the existing stations, They must have hundreds of hours of archive stuff they could use for a folk channel.
