That's actually good news, I think.

Subject: [Swprograms] So Long to Westway

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...
