Q: In answer to your question of "who would listen" to French popular music, why not extend the question to include "who would listen to American jazz, cajun music, Latin-American music etc,etc". I would imagine, that most listeners listen to what is presented to them, and the BBC choose not to present French popular music. Imagine living in France for the past 100 years, and radio stations never playing any British or American popular music. If that were the case, would you agree that French listeners would have be deprived of some great music?
