You may not be aware but this is the last
week for a lot of specialist radio shows on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london
Tonite is the last night for Coldcu't Solid
Steel and we heard Ross Allen's show has been
axed as well. Not sure about the other
specialist shows.
I realise I might seem to have a vested interest
in this, but the reason I work for Ninja Tune
is cause of the music full stop. To lose this
avenue of musical diversity on the airwaves is
sad, so I've sent the following email to
yourlondon@bbc.co.uk today and in a most unusual
move, encourage anyone else to do so that
agrees with my sentiment.
Dear BBC London
I noticed on the
http://www.ninjatune.net front page that tonite is
the last show that
Solid Steel is going to be in BBC London and I've heard that some of
the other specialist shows are being terminated as well.
I wonder what ever posessed BBC London to come to such a conclusion?
No where on London Radio can you hear the diverse music presented by
Coldcut, Ross Allen, Norman Jay and Bob Jones.
No where within any of the BBC's programming on radio can you hear
the kind of incredible mix shows that the Solid Steel team puts
together every week.
In order to find comparable programming, I will have to resort to
cheesy jazz fm after 10pm and finding the specialist shows on xfm,
which don't come close to the quality that this programming
represents.
Surely there must be a place for Solid Steel on BBC radio?
