I say was because what was 30 minutes of back to back music, often unusual, always interesting sometimes surprising. For me idylic. But the BBC programmers have to impose their branding. My pleasure is now interrupted by asinine announcements that I am listening to radio 3. No longer. A huge disappointment.Helen Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321653918762084856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-71791220372740166662018-07-20T19:25:26.030+01:002018-07-20T19:25:26.030+01:00I don't recognize my daily listening to Radio ...I don't recognize my daily listening to Radio 3 from the above bilious outpouring. I really value most (not all) of the presenters, (and am missing Rob Cowan) because they are very knowledgeable without induling in intellectual snobbery which I would find very irritating. I regret the loss of the second broadcast of Composer of the Week in favour of the Mixtape. Too often I find the mixtape trying too hard to patronize me by including (under the disguise of the description 'eclectic') music I am not especially interested in. A tiny touch of something unexpected is fine , provided it is inspired, but I sense an arrogance behind some of the choices . I still want Radio 3 to sound like Radio 3. It is the only Classical radio programme. We can listen to other stations if we prize eclecticism above what we call 'clsssical'. I like you the way you are/were. Tighten up the mixtape. A lot. The rest is just fine. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499188948660375125noreply@blogger.com
