Radio 3 would have been a natural home for a well researched folk programme - and Late Junction did a lot of that as part of its very wide-ranging coverage. So the Beeb's management moved it to a unreasonably late slot and then axed it.

I haven't listened to Radio 3 for years (it was the only channel I bothered with apart from the folk stuff on Radio Scotland). It turned into an endlessly repetitive soapbox for MI5 with Donald Macleod spouting the official Cold War line on Shostakovich at every conceivable pretext.
