   Comments: SHH has been a significant part of my life from my childhood through to now (am now 65). For me, it is a symbolic way of drawing a Sunday to a close, giving me time to reflect and prepare for the coming week, and be uplifted with hymns and prayers. There is no other place where this can be acieved. Combined with the comment about being able to use i-player, I feel the 6am slot is an insult and the precursor to the demise of the programme. Some of the listeners may well not have the facility or the expertise to access i-player - they will simply be marginalised by this decision. Come on BBC, you can do better than this - listen to your listeners and change your minds. Remember that changing a point of view as a result of debate and consideration is a sign of strength not weakness, so dear BBC, BE STRONG!!

   Comments: why reschedule to such an unsocial hour - what about tea time, or the afternoon? Are you listening to the radio at 6 am on Sundays?

    Comments: Arrogant, unbelievable, outrageous, wholly indefensible - I returned in the New Year after a short absence to find the programme had gone. These people are supposed to provide a service - they are not paid to give us grief.

    Comments: Is this part of a de-Christianising of Britian? At 6am hardly anybody is up on a Sunday and why should people have to down load it (that is if they have a computer) to hear this?

    Name: Hilary Davies on Feb 3, 2013

    Comments: We licence-payers have the right to be informed in advance of such proposals in order that the BBC can receive listeners' reactions prior to the implementation of such decisions. This decision is a particularly harsh blow to frail housebound people who rely on such milestones in the week to offer comfort and social sharing between people who are important to each other..

    Comments: Why are the BBC becoming so anti christian.? This country needs to give God his rightful place. It is no wonder that we are in such Mess. What is the point in putting Sunday half to a time when the majority of people are unlikely to hear it?

    Comments: This is a rediculous idea. Elderly and housebound people listen to this and are unlikely to be up and about at 6am. It has been at 8.30 for as long as I can remember.

    Comments: Having been a keen listener of this programme for many years I am very disappointed by its new timing..........my elderly, housebound mother, a former sunday school teacher and loyal church attender found this sunday evening programme a great comfort. She has no facility for playing it back ......shame on you BBC.

    Comments: I am writing on behalf of a 96 year old, blind lady, who lives in a residential home. Listening to the radio is her lifeline to the outside world, and especially as she has been a fervent Christian all her life. The Radio 2 Sunday Half Hour was a highlight of her week, and she is deeply distressed at the change of time. I hope that you will consider many people who will be in her position and reject the proposed rebranding in a 6 am slot.

    Name: Roger King on Feb 6, 2013

    Comments: Despite what they may say, the BBC has clearly NOT done any audience research to justify the scrapping of Sunday Half-hour, and replace it with a one hour devotional programme. I know of many devoted Christians of all denominations who listen regularly, most of whom are elderly and housebound, or who are dependent on other people to enable them to sustain an independent lifestyle, which, in many cases, means that they depend on the services of carers, many of whom carry out their daily visits in the morning

    Comments: Despite what they may say, the BBC has clearly NOT done any audience research to justify the scrapping of Sunday Half-hour, to replace it with a one hour devotional programme to be transmitted at 6:00am. I know of many devoted Christians of all denominations who have listened regularly, most of whom are elderly and/or housebound, or who are dependent on other people to enable them to sustain an independent lifestyle, which, in many cases, means that they depend on the services of carers, many of whom carry out their daily visits in the morning. Apparently the suggestion is that, if you can't get up at that unearthly hour, you can hear it again through your computer. What utter non-sense! There is still a large percentage of the senior adult population who either don't have, or don't want, a computer, most of whom are the elderly and housebound. How are THEY going to hear the new programme? This is yet another covert attempt by the BBC to marginalise not just religious broadcasts generally, but Christianity in particular.
