At long last, it appears that advance (provisional) playlists for Breakfast are being published. So far they are available for Saturday (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xmv0l), Sunday (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xmwlz) and Monday (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xnbjf). Presumably the rest will follow ....

Do I detect some more adventurous content in these lists?

Not really. Weekend Breakfast is normally a little bit more adventurous anyway. Monday's looks mainly pretty standard Breakfast fare I'm afraid. It is good that the some of the playlists are being published in advance. I find 1 in every 25 or so programmes of some interest so it will at least give me the opportunity to tune in to the odd worthwhile programme.

Casting my mind back, I'd say that the lists used to appear about three days in advance. These lists are also, once more, showing approximate timings for the broadcasts rather than the post-broadcast timings in the iPlayer.

Let's hope it lasts. Meanwhile, whoever thinks there is no point in making our points here persistently is just plain wrong. Whoever thinks that, now these boards have been cast adrift by the BBC, the BBC doesn't look at them is also wrong. It's always worth putting forward our concerns because we won't be the only source that they consult. And we won't always be 'wrong' on everything.

Although Tuesday's playlist isn't up yet, there is a note:

"NB This playlist is subject to change during transmission. The final playlist will be put up by noon on the day of broadcast."

:ok:

I've only just found this! Is someone out there listening to us after all? Let's hope it lasts and expands to full details for, say the first two hours of breakfast, rucksack finds could perhaps come later.

I agree with FF it doesn't look too bad!

Remains to be seen how many additional pieces are slipped in. Tuesday and Wednesday only list 16 pieces, whereas the usual has been about 23 - 27.

Monday's has 20 pieces which means either longer pieces or more musical discussion between the works :winkeye:.

Great.I found Howells' 'Take him earth for cherishing' on Tues and Victoria de los Angeles singing Falla on Wedn that I am sure I would have missed. Timings approximate though :doh:

well, we're getting the Mendelssohn Wedding March now (7:55) and the Handel/Kirkby was from Rodelinda at 7.30 so I shall continue not to worry/bother about playlists

beg pardon, we've just had a bit of Handel Giulio Cesare, though not as advertised

And I see the original playlist of 16 pieces has been expanded to 25 ...

By the way, was there a Specialist Chart feature this morning?

I always makes the mistake of checking the Official Charts official site, which always seems to be a week behind the times :smiley:

Meanwhile, whoever thinks there is no point in making our points here persistently is just plain wrong. Pardon the cynicism, but what makes you so sure this decision has anything to do with input from the forum? How do you know this wasn't just something they planned to do anyway?


Whoever thinks that, now these boards have been cast adrift by the BBC, the BBC doesn't look at them is also wrong.Uh, if you say so. :erm:


And we won't always be 'wrong' on everything. ...like a broken clock twice a day. :ok::biggrin:

Uh, if you say so. :erm:We know because we subscribe to Google Analytics.

We know because we subscribe to Google Analytics.Fair enough, but what kind of granularity are you getting--are you sure you're not just seeing BBC-hosted automated scripts doing global keyword scoops for a little analytics of their own? Many companies do this kind of monitoring as part of "brand management"; wouldn't surprise me a bit. Oh well, I'm sure it's interesting reading, in any event.


Well, whatever your views on the forum and its users, you're very welcome to make use of all the facilities here Well thank you very much! Wow, I really am being an ungrateful bleep, aren't I? You know, I think this place really brings out a wealth of emotions by highlighting the special qualities of late-night posting to messageboards; a particularly intimate atmosphere which offers a safe, confidential space to disagreeable, obstreperous curmudgeons everywhere for them to share some reflections. (am I doing this right?) :laugh:

Oh, nevermind--it is a very nice place indeed and I'm just being difficult. Nothing new, eh? Cheers! :smiley:
