These days I find the Radio 3 summaries, plus the net, all that I need.
Yes, I like the music:news ratio on Radio 3. It was even better the day Patricia Hughes couldn't find the bulletin at 7 am, so she played some extra music instead. Then, at 8 am, she announced, as usual, "Here is the news, read by Patricia Hughes", then added, to the bafflement of the newly awoken, "A gremlin had put it in the waste-paper basket."
Tried to find a clip of that, and failed: 'twas long ago. But I did find
another Patricia Hughes story, told by herself. If you can take 3 minutes out of the rolling news, it's worth it just to hear that impeccably BBC voice say the words "diaphanous negligee".
