What a hoot!  Almost makes me want to write them a letter...but then...there are better things to do with ones time than firing off letters which noone listens to.

	While the WS no longer carries comedy programs, there was a moment 
	(at least to me) of unintended levity on the new listener contact 
	program "Over to You" this morning.
	
	Several listeners had complained about favorite programs that were 
	"decommissioned" (a great word!) in the new schedule just put into 
	place.  After several of these complaints and proffered 
	justifications from a BBC WS representative (didn't get his full 
	name), the program host asked the rep if any of these decisions could 
	be overturned if the WS received considerable push back from 
	listeners.  The rep said, and I quote, "Of course!  We listen!"
	
	Now THAT's funny!
