Local radio did folk programmes in the regions.

Radio Sheffield had John Leonard as producer.

Radio Newcastle shut their programme down (presented by Ali Anderson) a year or so ago.

Radio's Derby and Nottingham have "Folkwaves" Monday

Radio Sheffield and a few others combined into a programme based in Hull and presented by Henry Ayrton. And when that was shut that was that for two/three stations.

Liverpool still has a programme done by Stan Ambrose.

Peter Kennedy had someone studying his broadcasting career. You would need Ian Russell/DFavid Atkinson's book on the 1998 Conference to celebrate the founding of the Folk Song Society. I was at the lecture and it covered Kennedy's broadcasting activity. "Especially "As I Roved Out".

Then there are the community stations currently broadcasting folk programmes.

Too many to list at the moment. But I can recommend "Thank Goodness It's Folk" on "Sheffield Live" 93.2 FM.

I understand the presenter has a perma-thread on this show on Mudcat and will be posting details of this week's playlist as soon as he gets from his Friday night curry and pint later this evening.
