[Swprograms] Fwd: WBUR switched off the BBCWS during Monday's strike

[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Now that I got back on the WS website, the edition of "The Interview"
that aired was one from the archives...it wasn't the current week's
version.

There is one series of "Heritage" programs in the documentary archive
-- the series on World Heritage Sites from last year.

What this exercise tells me is that the BBC should put more than just
the most recent edition of their feature programs in the "on-demand"
section of the website, because some of us find those programs more
interesting than the news.

I agree -- at 0930 yesterday "The Interview" aired instead of "World
Update".  It was an interview with the person who flew with Richard
Branson on one of the long-distance balloon excursions before Steve
Fossatt became the endurance guy.  It was interesting listening.

Has the "Heritage" series been filed in the Documentary archive?  For
some reason right now I can't get to the WS website to check.

(no, the irony of that isn't lost on the writer...)
