The Death of Alistair Cooke

Write On

Available for over a year

Letters of appreciation pour in after the announcement of the death of broadcasting legend Alistair Cooke. More reaction to the axing of 'East Asia Today' and dissatisfaction with Barry Langridge's explanations. The choice of 'tear jerking' music on Musical Masterpieces isn't impressing one listener, there's a complaint about too many metaphors in news reports and a listener at sea wants an FM station in Mumbai. Continuity announcer Rachel Weston talks about her job.
