Just heard today that BBC Radio York is about to restore 30 whole (!) minutes of folk per week by a non-folkie presenter. A quotation from a message from Sarah.Drummond@bbc.co.uk is below.

Please e-mail her or Sandie.Dunleavy@bbc.co.uk to let them know your suggestions...strike while the iron is hot! I think that they've restored folk coverage in response to e-mails....

'At BBC Radio York we have started a new Monday night show now presented
by Sandie Dunleavy, and we're introducing a half-hour folk and acoustic
music sequence in it from 8.30pm next week.'
