Good news – no news

Radio 3 seems to have stopped inflicting its listeners with regular on-the-hour news bulletins. At least I haven’t heard one, even though I am listening more frequently now.

The schedule doesn’t mention regular news at all, but then the hourly headlines are not mentioned for Radio 4 either.

Perhaps I was just imagining that it used to be impossible to avoid these hourly inflictions, that Radio 3 never carried them at all, it was just my imagination. But I have found one website which confirms that they did.

What is more the BBC is releasing light music from its ghettos & redoubts - even allowing it back on Radio 3

Lugubriosity vanquished.
