Thread Name: What is it that makes folk radio a success?
Subject: RE: What is it that makes folk radio a success?
Going back to the topic title:

It is a success but it makes great broadcasting - i.e. Folkwaves.

I have seen the new schedule for Radio Derby on Monday evenings and Folkwaves is being replaced by a Cambridge grad talk show presenter - one assumes , playing pappy music and listening to callers - it will be a fascinating programme - just like all the other talk shows that make local radio what it is - generally uninspiring with a few exceptions.
Please write to simon.cornes@bbc.co.uk and tell him - I have. Its a absolute disgrace to broadcasting
