With the change to a notable wintry type expected (whether snow-laden or
not, a significant change), I was listening to Radio 5 this morning with more than usual interest for Bob Prichard's assessment (I assume it was Bob - have yet to hear him this morning). Instead, we got 'wall-to-wall' tennis: yet again, Tim Henman being knocked out of a major competition. I appreciate that this event was of some interest, but surely 4 or 5 minutes at the start of each set could have been allowed for a main news and weather update; I think the decision to only broadcast tennis on what is after all a news, information AND general sport channel was poor. After all, the precedent that not *every* ball needs to be discussed has already been set on the sister station: Radio 4, where the commentary is not re-joined on Long-Wave until the Shipping Forecast is finished. (I have e-mailed direct to Radio 5 and to 'Feedback' this criticism). Martin. -- FAQ & Glossary for uk.sci.weather at:- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/booty.weather/uswfaqfr.htm |
