I agree with El Ted in that folk music is mainly participatory. Radio doesn't lend itself to that. But fm is also "regional", at least in the UK. Radio can play a role in bridging therefore; that would require diligent trawling of the regional output (both traditional and contemporary singer/songwriter stuff) and bringing the "catch" to the nation.
