it has been a few days since the Jazzwise story broke and i can find no comment or reaction from R3 any where ....
there can be no rationale for the alleged changes merely the opportunistic and perhaps desperate tactical stumbles in response to Delivering Quality First, being managed by Davie, and Squealer's own choices ...
there may be more bad news to come

Yep - looks good. Shame it's on so late though - will this be Geoffrey's regular slot?

The schedule has explicitly become what it always really was - an index for finding music. I appreciate that significance can attach to a slot but every R3 programme is now broadcast continuously for a week. The slot is now just the point at which the 7 day broadcast starts.

well it just looks like musical presenters chairs to me with no real rhyme nor reason other than operational tactics and i wonder just how long GS can sustain a midnight personal programme .... with the end of JL any pretense at analysis and review leaves the schedule ... so it is just a game of presenters musical chairs now and we are still in the graveyard of broadcasting time slots ...
i really think jazz would be better served on R6 well away from Squealer, he has miserably failed to live up to his words over the years ... as a matter of fact the whole approach of R6 to music would be well suited to R3 ..
if as hackneyvi posts it is essentailly a web based week long programme availability tyhen R3 just fails to compare with NPR for content and presentation
i think that the management of R3 and its policies and decisions affecting Jazz are now failing their remit and i am despondent since i do not believe there is any lever to get change for the better

I hope Alyn will have a bit of freedom to do more than just spin the discs and interact with the audience. I don't see how a request show is going to use his knowledge and expertise to the full. The Jazzwise story says he has a remit 'to draw in a broader, and slightly younger listenership' (I wonder where they got that from: it's not in the press release Alyn gave the link to). So, a sort of cross between the Sara Mohr-Pietsch and the Rob Cowan of jazz? That could be a poisoned chalice
[And how did they hide that press link? The story isn't showing on either of the Media Centre's Latest News pages, the general one or the Radio 3 one.
Add: It's there now ..]

Yes...until the following week when it will be on at 11.30pm, then 12.15am, then missed out for a week so as not to interrupt Through the Night...
Stands the church clock at ten to three? And is there jass still on Radio£3?

The importance of keeping the pigs in good health was all too obvious. So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone.
Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure. On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?
