New time for Jazz Library

[Ian Thumwood]

I am very disappointed to hear this although I sometimes struggle to catch JL live as it clashes with football. Since I seem to catch the programme more often on "Listen Again" it isn't as catastrophic as it could have been but it does seem to be demonstrative of Radio 3's failure to take jazz seriously. It is better to catch the programme live and must admit that it is something I like to listen to whenever I have to take work home over the weekend.

Once this goes through, it means that only one hour of Radio Three's five and a half hours of regular jazz broadcasting will be on before 11 at night.

I particularly detest the marketing speak surrounding the move.

Radio 3's jazz offering is further enhanced through the addition of the Jazz Library podcasts

Would someone from the BBC like to explain what exactly the previous enhancement was? Simply shifting the times of the programmes isn't in itself an enhancement, it's merely a change. And to me, moving the best jazz programme on Radio Three to a ridiculously late time means it's a change for the worse.

Seems like we'll have to wait till the midnight hour, but we could always Pickett:doh:


I'll get me coat!

Shame that one of the best programmes on R3, not just the jazz ones, is on so late.

Roger Wright's blog doesn't actually mention the changes to the jazz programmes but that needn't stop you commenting about them.

Although the fact that the link to the comments page isn't working is a bit of a bummer. I've sent in two complaints about it.

how convenient .... i think we should all write to Ken Clarke [c/o House of Commons] and urge him to protest the move with his chum Chris ..... and direct to Lord Patten too [c/o House of Lords] ... it is pointless arguing with Wright, he is a Thompson placeman and it will not change until Thompson goes

Or, to recontext an old saying, "if Roger Wright gets up your nose, pickett"

[Serial_Apologist]

Thanks for that bit of disinterring, grippie

And while we're there, read Trevor Cooper's message 3.

Miss ya, Trev!
