Great early evening entertainment. Guests and your calls on 0370 143 1333 (national rate). .

The phone number might come in useful!!!!!!!!!!! "

I think that trying to protest via the replacement programme could be counter-productive - those who like listening to richard spurr will simply think we are cranks!

I emailed simon corne about why the BBC haven't troubled to explain the reasons for their decision more publicly - or thanked mick and lester for putting on such a good show. The response was clearly a stock one since it didn;t address either point but simply explained their decision - a key part of this is that they feel that 7-9 has become a part of the working day more than in the past and hence people want to listen to more of what gets put out during the day. However it doesn't explain why they didn;t move folkwaves to a later spot - or to the weekend. This seems to me the case we should pursue.
