Here's an email I just sent to dqf.consultation@bbc.co.uk which gives the arguments against cutting folk as I see it. I urge you to do the same:

I am appalled to hear that the BBC is planning to cut Genevieve Tudor's local folk programme as part of the DGF budget cuts. Much of the musical output that Radio Shropshire offers is no different to what one can hear on any popular national radio station. I was under the impression that the BBC wanted to especially retain in its local broadcasting what is truly local. In cutting Sunday Folk you will be cutting Genevieve's distinctive local guests, local topics of conversation and the local aspect of her play list. Her programme is, in other words, irreplaceable by anything national radio offers which, by any account, has the most paltry amount of folk music as it is. Please stay true to the brief of local radio and keep Genevieve Tudor's Sunday Folk.
