   Comments: Sunday half hour is about the only proramme left on a Sunday which is remotely christian. I know you have increased the length of the programme but the new timing is totally unacceptable for most people who are likely to listen to it. How long before you do something with the Service at 0810hrs I wonder, is that the next one to be changed or worse still axed.

   Comments: My mother listens to Sunday Half Hour and she is 94 years old. The iplayer is a mystery to her, and I suspect to many of the older listeners. Also, probably very few of the faithful listeners would be up to listen at 6am, except night workers. The BBC is not considering its audience at all.

   Comments: I want the facility to turn my radio on, on a Sunday night and listen to Sunday Half Hour. Sunday morning at 6 am is out of the question, and using iplayer is not so convenient/easy.

    Comments: Believe it or not this is still a Christian country with more people going to Church on a Sunday than go to football matches on a Saturday. Sunday Half Hour is a vital link with their faith for those who cannot get to Church. Please do not move it to an earlier time.

    Comments: There are too few broadcasts of this type and to move it to early sunday morning I feel is for numbers to drop off and thus justify removing it altogether

    Comments: The normal listener will not be about to access this excellent programme at the hour of 6.00am. This is a half hour slot ,best enjoyed shared. Fishermen,Postmen and insomniacs may well be awake,going about their business but the rest of us will be happily tucked up in bed!

    Comments: 6.00am sounds much as if by moving to such an early slot the BBC wish then to be able to say it attracts insufficient audience, thus giving themselves a good reason to axe the programme altogether. It also looks like fear of being accused of being politically incorrect by broadcasting religious ethics. It is high time we stood up once more for freedom of speech in this country.

    Comments: Every good thing in our governance and traditions in Britain has historically been brought about by the influence of Christians in our society, some high, and some low. Those in the media who forget this forsake the wisdom which would keep this nation healthy in a diseased world.

    Comments: We believe that certain BBC programmes that have run for decades are institutions that have lasted for a good reason. The bbc has a duty to acknowledge the opininion of its audiences, and provide a balanced schedule to cater for its diversity.
