- i think its being taken over by sports as no-one was listening to the
- rest of the programs and it also had no real identity ... i.e. on
- the hour sports news coming in the middle of childrens programs etc.
-
- its been sort of relaunched as the sports station which, it appears,
- seems to be helping it maintain an identity ... a few months ago there
- were fairly rumours that to pacify the R4LW brigade that it would be
- scrapped and turned into the news channel.
