Thread Name: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC
Subject: RE: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC
Anybody checked the local East Midlands' stations schedules for the week beginning 3rd. January? It seems that between 7 o'clock and 9 each evening there will be "great early evening entertainment" presented by Richard Spurr followed by Amanda Bowman with much of the same between 9 and 1.(Except on Fridays when Dean Jackson takes over that slot). These are all BBC Radio Nottingham presenters with the usual, bland "Radio Two" style - and guess what? we are all invited to join in the conversations by phoning in on 0370 143 1333. So lets all do that eh?
Interesting to see that the centre for all of this wonderful new programming is Radio Nottingham - where was it that Stuart Thomas is based? So there we are; lots more of the same and an end to any specialist musio output; so much for clause 5.3!
