Don't forget Radio Merseyside is intending to axe Geoff Speed's Folk Scene, too...

The buggers seem to think they don't need us folkies - which is probably okay as there are plenty of community radio stations around only too happy to accept our programmes...

Sod the Beeb, Community Radio does what it says on the tin!!

I've said it all before, I know, but Oldham Community Radio 99.7fm has been the home of Ali O'Brien's 'Sounds of Folk' since the Beeb dispensed with our services back in 2007.

We are available online with a 'Listen Again' service that goes back months, not just one measly week!!

BBC Local Radio, eat yer heart out! Oh... you already are doing...!

Don't overlook the fact that it isn't only folk they are ditching, but 'Specialist Music' in general... inverse discrimination against English-speaking members of the public, as they are leaving the 'ethnic minority' programming well alone... but perhaps we now qualify as an 'ethnic minority'??
