I have to admit it was right around this time in 2003 or so that my
listening to WS dropped dramatically. It was a combination of the change
in programming schedule combined of course with the fact that they
decided I shouldn't be using my shortwave radio to receive them, but
lets not get back on THAT issue!

There used to be a "light entertainment" slot that featured these two
programs plus the likes of Brain of Britain and I'm Sorry I Haven't A
Clue; Sandy is right, this was a casualty of the increased emphasis on
news.

Last time these programs were on shortwave looks to be 2003, given
what I mentioned in "Easy Listening" at that time.
