Thread Name: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC
Subject: RE: The end of Folkwaves
I got the same standard reply from Mr Cornes, and think the points raised by cobra are excellent ones. I just want to make the point that folkwaves is a shared programme, broadcast by radio's Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln and Leicester, and so serves a huge area and population. I think they will find it very hard to serve a larger number - broadcasting the Forest game would hardly draw a Lincolnshire audience for example. This just seems to me a silly cut. Why not keep it, broadcast it at a different time, but at least we could get it on iPlayer?
