David.
I don't think we disagree at all!
Unlike TV, I don't think analogue radio is going to be turned off for several years. If for no other reason apart from the fact that there aren't enough cheap digital radios for cars as yet! And a lot of radio listening happens in cars.
Check out the Folkwaves group on Facebook to read about the sacking of Mick Peat and Lester Simpson. and replaced by an oldies show featuring Psychic Poodles!
Local radio seems to be committed to getting rid of all specialist music shows. Sad but true.
