Radio 3's website is a mess. How can it waste so much screen space yet appear so cluttered?

turn off javascript, images + force your own font rendering - then not too bad - must admit my taste for nursery wall graphics declined 60years ago but guess R3 needs to attract all these days and starting young might be the way to go (or of course simple incompetence by webpage 'designer')Originally Posted by Hitch

in the golden age of Radio 3 there was no website, no listen again facility, and if one wished to complain to the BBC (not, of course, that one ever needed to) one had to post a letter

Well the Humperdick was corrected yesterday but has now reverted back to the singer again! There is also on the same playlist a new composer called Finale who appears to have written a first symphony. Nice to see R3 takes such pride in its website.

You could not make it up. A disgrace.
Is Finale a pseudonym for James Last!

As I said in Msg #8, the bad decision is to use the all-purpose 'pop' software for all the station websites. As Graeme said on R3's Facebook, it's about 'automated feeds which make it possible to support a 24/7 radio network without 24/7 staff'. To which the reply might well be: 'Then why is the interactive team spending so much time on Facebook and Twitter when you could be checking what the software has displayed on the website?'
One might even question the value of linking every item to a Wikipedia article by entering the music details into the software; why not just key the music details on to an ordinary playlist?
