The Aims of FoR3
Friends of Radio 3 (For3) celebrates BBC Radio 3 as, first and foremost, a broadcaster of Western classical music and the arts, offering specialist coverage of a range of high quality musical and cultural content, including jazz and global traditional musics, and drawing on expert contributors who enrich the listening experience. We applaud Radio 3's commitment to live music, to commissioning and broadcasting new music and new drama, and to nurturing new performing talent.
Aims:
-
To engage with the BBC, to question the policies which depart from Radio 3's remit to deliver a high quality programme of classical music, spoken arts and thought, and to convey listener concerns to BBC management.
-
To oppose tendencies to dilute Radio 3's distinctiveness and emulate popular music stations, including Classic FM
- Through our forum, to focus on Radio 3 and stimulate interest in subjects relating to its coverage.
