Most things on BBC seem to be repeats, unless it's Sport.

Yesterday - rugby on 1, match results on 2 and snooker on 4.
Interspersed with repeats.

I used to be a big listener to radio 4 but now I choose the podcasts instead.

I know there are some who love all the old stuff but I don't even listen to The Archers anymore.

Life is change.

Well, maybe I should give it a few more months to become accustomed to it, but......IMHO it's now a jumbled mish-mash of long-mothballed items, ancient bits and bobs and labelling something "Vintage" or "Classic" or "From The Archives" doesn't give it a worthwhile quality that it just didn't possess the first time round.

There is the odd and random gem that IS worth an airing but these are scarce.

But the likes of "Much Binding In The Marsh" and hackneyed crime dramas from the 1950's/1960's (always prededed by a warning that the language is "of it's time")?

If the BBC is really desperately needing to save money then I'd personally recommend deleting 4Extra altogether.
