Posted at the Media Network blog -- the BBCWS has announced it will be
discontinuing Westway (the serialized drama) as of October.
The BBC responded this is part of a plan to emphasize news & factual
programming on weekdays, with the arts more prominent on the weekend.
My take: I personally won't miss Westway, because that's not why I
listen to the BBCWS.
However, I hope they don't simply add another 15 minutes to The World
Today or World Briefing -- I'd rather see additional themed
programming, closer to the ABC's Radio National model than to the
World Today model.
This might result in music programming being moved to weekends...we'll see...
