R3 hates jazz and is trying to kill off jazz on the radio

[Lateralthinking1]

It is entirely typical that one of the very few presenters who bothers to read the comments of listeners and write to them on a forum has his programme cut. It makes such a difference when they do and from personal experience this happens rarely. The late Charlie Gillett, Anne Nightingale and Michael Rosen were all good enough to respond to me on the BBC boards. I am guessing that some people have had a similar experience with Rob Cowan. I am also in a similar boat to barber olly and find AS's programme the most accessible and informative of the jazz programmes. I would like to write a note to R3 on this matter but don't know how to do it. Can someone advise?

(Update - Many thanks to GT for the contact details. I have now sent my e-mail).

"John Birt likes jazz"? REALLY?

... an assumption granted, based on his enthusiastic applause at the gig tho ..... [which was only moderately good ...]

[Lateralthinking1]

Funny.....still haven't received a reply to my e-mail. Must have been an oversight.

...thanks for the effort Lat but the lack of a reply is to be expected from this lot ...

I've also written. Will notify of any response.

Wonder if it would be worth a go at 'Feedback' - see if they can get some facefree suit on air to squirm their way through a few questions. Here's the contact.

Good idea.

[Pilchardman]

Done.

Interested to see that everyone else has yet to receive any sort of reply to their e-mail. I must admit that I was somewaht doubtful that there would be a response although it would be nice is someone from the beeb could perhaps post of generic message here instead of individual responses.
