[QUOTE="Richardson, post: 17782, member: 175744"] Thank God that - at long last - somebody's actually doing something about this! The justification for discontinuing the pan-European coverage of BBC Radio 4, BBC 7 and the other domestic radio channels from the end of May can [B]only[/B] be good old-fashioned British blinkered spite.

Nothing but this: thousands of BRITONS living and working on the continent will shortly be deprived of their favourite radios just so that a handful of narrow-minded bureaucrats at the BBC can gloat in the knowledge that all those lousy expats and assorted foreigners will have the door slammed in their faces once and for all. If the BBC thought they were in any way justified in restricting the coverage of the radio channels on Astra they wouldn't be so secretive about it. Their furtive behaviour betrays a bad conscience, but - alas - they have no shame. [/QUOTE]
