Why wasn't it spotted?

After that, I don't have a whole lot to say about that, except that I have found in recent years that decisions that have been made by RTA have upset me, and I have.

contacted various people by email and whatever.

And the thing that I find is that I get no response, no indication that anybody has read or is listening or cares what I think.

And that sets me, because I've been listening to RTE all my life, to the point where up to the last year or so, I never even went looking for some of the other stations.

Didn't know where I'd find them.

But now I do, and now I have to.

because I just don't like some of the decisions that have been made and some of the programming change.

Well, one, and it's, for instance, right, and whether you like Oliver Callan and Callan's kicks or not isn't the issue for me in this regard.

But somebody...

and I can't think what wisdom was applied to this, decided that the programme should be repeated at half past seven on a Saturday morning.

When people like me, for instance, wake up to nice gentle music on Rising Time, which I've been doing for years, and all of a sudden I have this

It's just not a wake-up to pain, you know.

Put it on at a different time of the day if it needs to go on.

But the logic behind that just escapes me.

And I also seriously question how much money was spent on redoing all the intros to all the programmes.

I mean, I can't distinguish one programme from the other anymore.

It used to be the case that the radio was on and the music changed and say, oh, here it is, it's started.

Can't do that anymore.

Don't know one from the other.
