As the world steadily shrinks, we've become used to seeing footballers from all over the globe and hearing 'foreign' music in soundtracks or adverts. At some point, the BBC leaders will be brave enough to follow. But, in the meantime, thank you very much Mr 3. Much obliged.
As for the rotation system, I think it was a big mistake to send senior producers to that expensive summer Rafael BenÃtez Maudes management seminar ...
Some possibly relevant comments, though so far proving to be of very little interest to people, logged here
Hugh Weldon wrote: Charlie is always publishing lots of comments received on his World Service programmes, but I guess that's because its a worldwide audience.
Charlie wrote:Or why British media shrugged its collective shoulders in disinterest as Buena Vista Social Club sold 8 million copies around the world - more than Gorillaz, more than Coldplay, Radiohead, anybody else you can think of from that period. Not as many as Dire Straits (35 million for Brothers in Arms) or Elton John, or even Nora Jones, but still 8 million is a lot of records and would normally be reflected in airplay
David Flower wrote: Just heard about a Burkino Faso musician Victor Deme who I'd never heard of but who sold 30,000 copies in France last year and was highly praised.
