   Comments: This programme has been running at this time for 70 years. It would be a great shame to lose it. A 6am replacement would lose many audience members for onvious reasons.

   Name: Janet Fearns on Jan 10, 2013

   Comments: The 6am slot means that most of the SHH regular audience will find it difficult, if not impossible, to make the switch. The promise of iPlayer availability is useless for those without Internet and computer know-how, which applies to a large proportion of the SHH regular audience, who are elderly and housebound.

   Name: Angus Henderson on Jan 10, 2013

   Comments: Listening to SHH, except when the programme has been missed, is to turn a "congregational" experience into an individual one. Extending the half-hour programme to one hour is a sop to Cerberus. The programme will be removed in a year or so as the audience dwindles to irelevance.

   Name: Roy Stephenson on Jan 10, 2013

   Comments: I have listened to Sunday Half Hour for over 50 years and I am appalled that the BBC can just at a stroke of someones pen dissmiss an institution that this programme has become. I have no intention of listening at 6am on a Sunday and will not be listening on the I player. For me it will be the end unless we can change the minds of the powers at the BBC

   Comments: I am disturbed by this proposal as it will be used as a first step to point to dwindling numbers listening to religious broadcasts. The elderly in particular do not have ready access to the internet.

    Comments: please consider your audience. They are not so likely to use ipads etc. and need to have the programme at the time when they actually want to listen i.e. in the evening.

    Comments: Please allow those of us with faith the same viewing rights as those who say they are of no faith. We are according to a recent survey still over sixty per cent of the population of this country.

    Name: Anonymous on Jan 10, 2013

    Comments: I am outraged at this proposal to move Sunday Half Hour to to a slot that is totally unsuitable. The notion that the new programme will be available on the BBC iplayer is a non-argument as a large proportion of the audience is elderly and cannot access (or understand) this technology. This is a poorly conceived idea that makes no allowance for the loyal target market for this programme.

    Name: Mrs Guay Tan on Jan 10, 2013

    Comments: I have been listening to the programme every Sunday evening for the last twenty years. The music is inspirational along with the sacredness of the presentation. I shall be devastated if the BBC makes a decision to axe the programme.

    Name: William John Bailey on Jan 10, 2013

    Comments: Why would radio programme organisers and producers wish to cease to broadcast the longest running continous BBC Light Programme/Radio 2 service - an institution in its own right? Not easy to understand or excuse the total disregard of continuity or direct link with earliest listening of a loyal BBC audience. I would wish to add my personal plea to the Corporation's decision-makers to reconsider this proposed change. Sending a much loved half-hour of Sunday evening listening to a dawn watch would be poor reward for an audience that has always been quick to leap to the BBC's defence against its detractors. In addition, the R2 Sunday listener warrants some change of fare from day-long variations on the easy-listening lounge music theme. Thirty minutes of church music is little enough to expect or ask for. Please take this one back for reconsideration. - WJB

    Name: Pamela Hurle on Jan 11, 2013

    Comments: Rescheduling is a significant loss for many, especially the old, sick and housebound, who probably form a large proportion of SHH listeners. They are also the least likely to have the means/expertise to listen at a more socially acceptable time. What research did the BBC do before making this decision? Their standard reply uses subjective language so I suspect this is merely a personal whim without rational support.
