It's not for me. But I know folks who enjoy their Sundays, their habits and yes songs of praise. At a time when the BBC is pandering to more and more minorities I think it's a shame they are scared to broadcast something like songs of praise. Traditions take a long time to build. We don't need to throw them away.

This is actually all over the news. Songs of Praise could be broadcast on internet only. Many older religeous folk mat not have the internet

What makes you think fear is part of any potential reduction, and of what?

Perhaps they're simply reflecting the reduction in the numbers of actual practising Christians attending services combined with cuts to funding?

Perhaps, are you of the opinion that they only broadcast programs that have high viewer numbers? If viewer numbers are there only criteria for selecting programs to be broadcast then perhaps fair enough as long as they are applied fairly... But they aren't and they are not.

Because they’re pandering to minorities?

If being a tradition was enough to respect a practice and one that took a long time to build up means peope want it then yes I'd agree with you but it isn't and they don't

Fox hunting was a long time tradition, witches and heretics were burnt at the stake for hundreds of years. FGM is another.

I detest the "it's a tradition, we must respect it argument" what it really means is its something that gives me a nice feeling to know exists even if I don't take any part in it so I want it to remain. As demonstrated above, its an argument that is never ever applied consistently.

But why though? Why religious programs as opposed to say,... Snooker or wildlife or reality they fucks they, economics, etc programs?

Religion plays a big part in many peoples lives, why not provide for it and provide something to discuss it?

6 months ago it had 1m viewers per week... Even if they are hiding it away now.

Don't get me wrong im no fan... But religion and its discussion is important to understand culture and ignoring it doesn't help.

I disagree but that's OK.. We can.

For our license supported national broadcaster, its decisions on what they choose to broadcast should be evenly balanced and should be open to scrutiny...

If it's viewing figures... Well that's an easy one. I suspect as above there is more than viewing figures behind replacing this program.

No, given their remit that's not something which would work..

Having said that they have to try and balance popular programme's some of which earn revenue with catering for a broad spectrum..

I think headlines matter.

The BBC are able to have more flexibility.

Surely this is freedom from tyrannical red tape, not burning all the churches down and forcing people to do the blasphemy challenge at gunpoint

No arguments with this. But that is a totally different argument to "we have to keep it, it is tradition" which was your first post. Unless you're prepared to defend (for example) FGM on the basis it's traditional, you are forced to accept that "tradition" is not a valid argument for keeping anything.

Well I'm not sure anyone is drawing analogy between the harmful brutal and offensive tradition of fgm with a program that shows singing hymns and showcases local history, Nor did I say "we have to keep it, it's tradition" what I said was "traditions take a long time to build. We don't need to throw them away".

There's only so much air time on mainstream channels. If they keep that new format question of sport on the air.. Well...
