Letter: Reasons to switch off Radio 3
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I would like to come to the defence of Radio 3's new programmes, On Air and In Tune. For years I have been seriously addicted to Radio 3. Now, rather than having to cringe with embarrassment at its desperate efforts to please, at its mind-numbing chats between cronies of the musical world, its useless news summaries and its redundant travel reports, I have at last found the will to switch Radio 3 off, permanently. I'm cured; I have discovered the delight of silence. Thank you, Radio 3.
Yours faithfully,
