Yes Arthur_itus, there are dedicated programmes (and whole radio and TV channels) for sport, and that is as it should be. Fine. Just because I'm a ludophobe doesn't mean that I believe that sport should be banned from the airwaves! There's a place for specialist music in programming, alongside specialist sport, and I can't see why one measly hour or two of an award-winning folk programme with a specific local remit and professionally presented (but not costly to produce) should be the victim yet again of the whims of the current crop of managers under the guise of whatever cuts might need to be implemented at the bbc. But that is always the kind of lame excuse that is given when a music show is axed - that "local radio listeners prefer sport" (and/or mindless chat) (who says so ??? where's the evidence??) and therefore there should be even more sports coverage (and/or chat) than there already is on the station (which is plenty). I am only reiterating the reply that was given when Henry's show was axed.
