OK, so they have decided that it's time for a change of presenter. It happens.

However, if half of what I read about the way they went about it is true, the manner in which Mike Harding was told was - shall we say - less than honourable.

I listened to his programme occasionally and it was OK and Mike was an knowledgeable presenter and I don't really understand some of the more extreme venom shot at him. I suspect his brief was somewhat constrained and, like all BBC output obscessed with celebrities so it wasn't really representitive of the Folk Music world most of us know.

However what's done is done and it's time to move on.
