It is the same down her ein the west country one of the very fav. programmes on a Sat evening from 8.10 has just been axed. It was mainly targeted to the older generation who have flooded the BBC local station with complaints...does it matter, do they listen...like hang they do. They say it is to do with audience numbers...the new 8.10 slot being taken over with what I call "bash bash music" what time do youngsters go out on a Sat evening 8 till late !! I ask you..<br />Love sybil xxSybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516012178494813281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608354260533758655.post-79655777737722279412010-03-03T21:36:21.365+00:002010-03-03T21:36:21.365+00:00Lovely to read about your memories Andy.
My husba...Lovely to read about your memories Andy.<br /><br />My husband is another casualty of the BBC cuts. For the last 18 months he has been doing specialist music programmes in the evenings. His contract isn't to be renewed this month.<br /><br />Shared programmes with other local stations seems to be the way forward, so it looks as if the BBC will be following the already established path of Commercial radio.<br /><br />How sad when you think of all those people who fought for local independent radio stations and just 30 short years later we are losing them.Linda Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874992688429965004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608354260533758655.post-35595450833732484812010-03-03T21:22:34.453+00:002010-03-03T21:22:34.453+00:00You haven't lost my interest Andy.

I am enjoying your memoirs of the railway.<br />It is very interesting and, without photos, I like to imagine what these stations look like.<br />The newsagent was unique. Wasn't he? Those were the days when people and neighbours mattered to each other. <br />Carry on the good work. Don't stop. There will always be a little 'imp of doubt' sitting on your shoulders. Learn to tell him to get lost and do what you are good at. <br />I am enjoying your stories.<br />JeanieJeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120751027760312414noreply@blogger.com
