> Protesting when 15 or 20 years ago NDR scrapped their last half-hour folk programme (10.30 pm on a Saturday)

I don't remember this program at all. Was it NDR Info? Up until recently they had a program with rock music, "Nachtclub (Nightclub) Extra", with rotating specialties at 11:00 PM on Saturdays. I often liked "Nachtclub Classics". There was a very good program about Gary Brooker and Procul Harum shortly before the recent change when they went to all news.
