That might be one effect, but it doesn't happen on Radio 3. I suspect that the real problem is the 'Fear of Silence' on air, and the influence of commercials with their hyped up 'exciting' presentation. Didn't it start with Radio Luxemburg avoiding the fustiness of BBC presentation by copying the American stations? And it seems that people like it. So I guess it's the audience's fault- as it usually is. -- Peter

That was probably the case with pop music in the 1960s, but inappropriate talk-over is found in many programmes nowadays, not just in music shows but in interviews and serious documentaries. To me it just shows that a lot of the BBC radio programmes are being presented by badly-trained media-studies geeks. The presenters or their producers haven't stopped to think what effect is created by inappropriate talk over, and by music or effects under, an interview. It is an insult to the main performer; eqivalent to holding a loud conversation in the quiet part of a symphony concert or whistling a tune in the face of someone who is trying to answer a question you have just asked them. BBC radio lost its way about 20 years ago and is just trailing along, aping other stations and telling us how good it is. That is not to say that some individual programmes aren't good - but the overall organisation no longer understands what quality radio is all about. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk

Actually, as aforementioned daughter is actually in Fort William as we speak I might get her to tune in and see if he's still going. ;-) > >It is a great pity that most music presenters these days seem to think >that their voice is what the listener has tuned-in to hear and the music >is merely a background to be spoken over. If the music is worth >hearing, it is worth hearing 'in the clear' for its entirety. The style was actually quit a nice change, in it's own special way. It also complemented both the music and the area. However, it would be very easy to tune through it if you were just scanning to see what was on, thinking it was just some unmodulated carrier. ;-) Cheers, T i m
