Radio 3 Shake Up and The Now Show No More

Published: April 25, 2024, 3 p.m.

Sam Jackson is Radio 3\u2019s relatively new controller - he\u2019s been in the job for just a year and, at 40, he\u2019s much younger than most of the station\u2019s listeners. Earlier this month he took the plunge and introduced a raft of changes to the schedule. This week on Feedback, he explains the thinking behind the changes and responds to listeners' comments.

And The Now Show is no more. After 25 years, Radio 4\u2019s topical comedy staple ended last week. Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis join Andrea in the studio to look back over the past quarter of a century, unpick the nuances of political satire and talk through the BBC\u2019s decision to end the show.
