Re: [Swprograms] BBC 'ON AIR' MAGAZINE IS SUDDENLY AXED

[Peter Bowen <bowen_peter@xxxxxxxx>]

It was only a few weeks ago that I was receiving letters asking me to
re-subscribe. And now, they pull the plug on the thing. It shows that
the management and customer service is not on the ball at "On Air". 

This is one of the reasons why I refused to renew my subscription
when it lapsed in October. (A hard thing to do--I had been receiving
monthly BBCWS mags for more than 30 years!).

Interestingly, another reason is that I can get all the programme
skeds that I need online, via the BBCWS website. Much cheaper too, of
course.

I wonder if the "On Air" website will bite the dust as well. I hope
not, as they have some good programming info there.
