Annoying advert for Schubert series....
Hello all
Has anyone else been shocked by R3's own advert for the Schubert series? It uses 4 different voices switching in an annoying commerical manner and finishing with that horrible, upbeat, grating, self-satisfied voice similar to one of the R3 morning presenters. If they're trying to slip this kind of vile commercial, twaddle in subtly, they are completely failing!
You're thoughts....

The Schubertathon seems to be swelling the numbers contributing to the Forum! Welcome indeed, RandomFan.

Yes. Awful and insulting.
The other THING is what I suppose one has to call a jingle - self-satisfied voice plus two bars or so of a symphony, trio or whatever. Sometimes repeated two or three times within the space of a few minutes. Apart from the fact, already pointed out on these boards, we're already listening, this is taking bleeding chunks to a ludicrous and offensive extreme of butchery.

I think it's time for Radio 4 to mount a week-long Sunday Worshipathon, similarly trailled.
I wonder how that would, er, "go down". Questions from the mitred in the Lords?

aha kernelbogey, it is a relief to hear such righteous anger from another human...
We must stop this! I want to find the marketing ****s who are doing this and ---**** (self consored)....
But serioulsy, how about a march on Broadcasting house by Radio 3 listeners fed up with this idiotic meddling?

It worked for Radio Four a few years ago when they propsed dropping the long wave frequency..... Surely nothing more scary than the outraged middle classes:
'What do we want?'
'Radio Four on Longwave.'
'When do we want it?'
'Now'
'And in France in the School holidays' etc

Is that the cringe-making female with sing-song emphasis who sounds as if she is advertising a wonder new hair product, possibly with extra lanolin?
