Reality check needed here methinks.
The only national (UK) broadcaster that tips it's hat to "Our" sort of music is the BBC. Forget ITV/Commercial radio/Sky et al.
And within the domestic BBC services. Radio. Well there is Mike Harding for 1 hour a week. (let's not start the debate as to what he plays...at least it's in the right area!)...The odd track on Late Junction, the occasional artist on Womans Hour, Peel used to play some stuff, but he's dead, Kershaw likewise, but he was sacked. You might stumble across a Radio 3/4 feature with someone like Chris Wood, (If you're lucky).
Local Radio coverage is being culled on a weekly basia.
Television....Again, we can ignore the commercial sector.
Apart from "Later" (Love it or loath it) The only place that tries on occasions to do in-depth documentaries is BBC4. And very good they are too.
I could probably name hundreds of artists that deserve more airtime on the media. But, deal with it folks. It ain't going to happen, anytime soon. X factor, and Britains got talent (dubious) put bums on seats. Dick Gaughan doesn't....It's as simple as that. So, just be grateful for the few crumbs that fall from Simon Cowells table. and, stop whingeing!
And Happy May Day!
