GUEST,S.G. The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC (288* d) RE: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC 20 Dec 10


It seems that the 7 till 10 slot on Radio Lincolnshire will be hosted by William Wright (though Radio Nottingham's Paul Robey sits in for the first programme on 3rd January) instead of Nottingham's Richard Spurr. They still get Amanda Bowman from 10, however. I feel sorry for Charlie Partridge if he's been backed into a corner over all of this because he really is a nice bloke. What a shame to be handed all of this retrograde "planning" - we might as well all listen to Radio Two - or is that the idea in the long run when the BBC start shutting local radio stations altogether. I have a feeling that in a few years time there will be around 10 regional stations with very limited (if any) local output. How's that for the licence payers! (being treated with the usual contempt of course) It's certainly a smack in the gob for all those of us who carried the torch of Community radio run by the BBC all those years ago.
