Default Re: The BBC Light programme

In the 1950’s my parents would very often listen to Hilversum instead of the BBC output, can’t remember the content but probably light music of some kind. They had broadcasts in English i presume, they didn’t speak Dutch.
I used to listen to Luxembourg in the 1950/60’s until the pirates came along. By the late 60’s my music tastes were changing to jazz and some classical.
The Light program wasn’t high on my list of priorities.

As noted earlier BBC is only £3 a week, perhaps they are trying to spread what they have too thin. I don’t need to be able to listen/view them all the time, just one or two hours a week would be enough for me, they don’t seem able to do that consistently.

I will be sad if it eventually closes but it’s guaranteed for the next 7 years in some form.
