Pre-noon. How much do you now listen to post-schedule changes?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

The lack of information in Radio Times of what is to be played is quite deplorable. Do the people who attempt to run this station imagine that people switch on and are happy to hear the DJs rabbiting on, and to carry on listening on the off-chance of hearing something interesting? Get real! Some of us have a life.
(Sorry - just had to get that off my chest.

Not sure if I am qualified to vote at all, given that I now don't listen to any Radio 3 at all before COTW.

S-A

Ditto.
And in the afternoons R5 is often a better option. Richard Bacon's interview with Jeremy Paxman yesterday was fascinating. I am turning to the radio less and less for music. (And I write as someone with 45 years+ of Radio 3 listening behind me. I must face facts: R3 is not designed for me any more!)

[MickyD]

I have continued to tune in probably for reasons of loyalty, but I think I have now reached a stage where I can't bear this appalling Breakfast programme any longer. The ridiculously-titled "Essential Classics" is not quite so bad, but certainly a shadow of the former slot.

All the same, I'll still listen to my favourite CD Review and Early Music Show - I just hope they never go down the same road, though nothing would surprise me.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I still listen on Saturday mornings? But even CD Review is punctuated by adverts (aka trailers)

[Bryn]

I have looked at the schedule and thus failed to tune in since the changes.

[EdgeleyRob]

I tend to only listen whilst driving to work Monday to Friday which coincides with breakfast unfortunately!

[doversoul]

I did not hesitate and took ‘much less’ as ‘or not at all’.

Like MickyD, I had been holding on to Breakfast despite all the chat, texts, bleeding chunks and repeats but the phone in finally tipped the boat. Oh, and having to hear the word 'tweet' every ten minutes. I simply could not face (ear?) it. I do not like listening through the computer but since I started listening to TTN regularly, I have remembered what civilised music listening feels like. As for Essential Classics, partly because I feel no need to change from TTN but mostly, I cannot, again, face the quiz and the guest. It is a complete waste of Sarah Walker’s knowledge.

Incidentally, I found Sunday Morning quite enjoyable. Not rivetingly exciting but James Jolly keeps the between-talks to the minimum and to the music, and most, if not all, works he played were complete works.

P.S. I didn’t think listening to TTN on Listen Again in the morning as ‘listening to the radio in the morning’.

[longinus]

Yes, the trouble is that when I turn off Breakfast (often within 2 minutes of turning it on), I put on CDs which take me through till Composer of the Week. So Breakfast wrecks Essential Classics too.

[Chris Newman]

I only listen to R3 pre-noon on Saturdays. Occasionally I might catch up with a missed concert on iPlayer but as a rule I keep the morning silent as I cannot paint with background music. For that reason I catch up with COTW in the full edition as a download or podcast.

[amcluesent]

I now listen to Through the Night on Listen Again until the lunchtime concert. The incessant prattling and demands for 'tweets' is intolerable on R2.5 until that time. And as 'Wrecker' Wright looks set to wreck the lunchtime concert, I fully expect to give his traduced channel the miss until the evening concerts.
