The problem there is that some of us rely on sources like 'Radio
Times'

Print media, in the opinion of those who run broadcasting, is dead.

They probably do, if we judge on their behaviour. However it seems weird if
the people who work at Radio Times also think so...

TBH my main reason for buying RT is to let me note what items I want to
listen to on the radio. These days, mainly via the iPlayer. But since they
devote the bulk of the space in its pages to TV you'd think they might want
to avoid errors in the listings.

A trivial example is that last night's Prom on BBC4 was listed in bold type
as 'live'. But it was a recording of a Prom from earlier in the week.

Maybe they were confused because the last Prom in the Beethoven cycle was
yesterday.

Reverting to the Lumpits... The real curio yesterday is that the timing of
the Barenboim Beethoven cycle looks very much like it was timed as a lead
up to the Lumpics. The 9th Symphony being performed just before the
official opening ceremony of the Lumpits.


Yes so it was perhaps they thought that their staff might like to see
that somewhere..

Also Barenboim was at the Olympics holding the flag;!..

Maybe he realised that was the only way BBC 'Freeview' viewers would be
able to see clearly who he was. :-)

What's the point of posting if you don't know what you're on about?

When has that ever stopped anybody?
I never do it. All my posts are totally factual and based on the best
scientific research.

He meant a multiswitch's use. He just missed a few letters out.

Deepest apologies for the superfluous apostrophe, the "butcher's"
responsible will be shot ;-p

I'm wondering just how much effect the Lumpits is going to have on the
quality, etc, of what the rest of the BBC output will be like.

BBC 4's resolution has been reduced

Have they turned off text services on DAB to make way for the R5L
olympics channel?

Radio Text (or whatever it's called) seems to have been back this week,
was the extra bandwidth really required, or was it coincidental?
