Mike Harding sacked by Radio2
Just in case anyone hasn't seen this: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/mike-harding--the-voice-of-folk-music-on-radio-2-for-15-years--sacked-by-the-station-in-a-single-phone-call-8215339.html
In a nutshell, the guy who's single-handedly dragged Folk on 2 up to about 10 times its listener base and has been a tireless advocate and champion of folk music on the radio and online (heck, he even plugged![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
talis_kimberley!) for years? Just got dumped for no remotely sound reason in a 2 min phonecall.
I am more than a little unimpressed.
