I think people are asking and awful lot of one hour long show on one channel. Especially when you think of the breadth of styles and sheer volume of catalogue to choose from.

As for the awards themselves, I see nothing wrong with them. And I like to get the album that they bring out afterwards. I've gotten into stuff I would never have dreamt of buying a cd of through those albums.

By all means, make suggestions to both the BBC & Smooth Ops, heck start a campaign. But simply denouncing them and the awards does nothing but hurt what certain people apparently want to promote.
