Countryfile is apparently moving to a new evening slot at 7pm

I've been watching the forecast since the mid 80's when it
was still the old 'Farming forecast' from the 'Farming' programme.

Sunday lunchtime just won't be the same again!

It just goes to show the state of the poor quality of programmes on
our airwaves that they have to move Countryfile - which is frequently
interesting - to an evening slot. Are they moving Highway to
lunchtimes?


Surely a move to a 'near peak' viewing time on a Sunday evening can't be all
that bad?
