   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.

   Comments: Have E mailed BBC but got the usual trite comments, the prog. content has deteriorated and the new "show" is "rubbish" with a commercial break in the middle.

   Comments: I have listened regularly on Sunday evenings since before the days when the programme was presented by Roger Royal. I'm afraid there ia no chance of my listening at 6.00am.

   Comments: How many will be able to hear this at 6am? It is a nail in the coffin to eventually get ris of the programme altogether. Have they not thought of all tho elderly and disabled people who are unable to get out to a church service and so look forward to this one half hour in the week at a time when they can enjoy it. If they are awake at 6am. then they will be busy with the affairs of getting up. Try and imagine yourself as an elderly person who has enjoyed the programme for several years and now cannot get out - how do you think you would feel|?

    Comments: I feel that 06:00 am is an inconsiderate time to broadcast this programme as it is enjoyed by many. listeners. Why not broadcast Good Morning Sunday from 06:00 am until 08:30 and Sunday Half Hour from 08:30 - 09:00? What a wonderful and uplifting start to the day this could become.

    Name: Valerie Page on Feb 11, 2013

    Comments: Very sad to lose SHH on a Sunday evening. The argument that the "younger generation" do not listen is hardly relevant. Most of them have access to all sorts of music 24 hours a day on Ipods, mobile phones etc. in addition to a choice of radio stations playing an assortment of "their kind of music". The extra half an hour seems as if it is meant to be a softener for losing the usual half hour slot. Changes are inevitable but I feel SHH listeners have had a raw deal.

    Comments: Who is awake at 6am on a Sunday morning to listen to it? This is a step towards removing the programme altogether, first the BBC will say that numbers hae fallen and then they will say that they have to get rid of the programme altogether.

    Comments: The earlier time is not convenient. Sunday Half Hour is a much loved family programme. It was a spiritual oasis of calm and uplifting prayer. It was a wonderful way in which to end this special day dedicated to God and the things of God. Please, reinstate the programme as soon as possible. Thank you.

Please restore this programme and make lots of older listeners who will not be able to speak up for themselves a little bit happier on Sunday evenings. Thank you.

    Comments: The new schedule is a real disappointment. I really enjoyed the half-hour of community fellowship, that allowed Christians of all ages to share a Sunday evening segment with each other. This has been lost, and the new programme at 6am is wasted slot. Please reinstate the schedule to reflect the needs of the audience, and stop discriminating against Christians.

    Comments: Please do not let go of this programme, so special to so many 'loving' people who gain so much spiritual uplift in their lives. It is a form of 'spiritual hunger' which should be made available to one and all. Basic it may be, to some, but a need nevertheless and as 'Click' provides for those with sharper minds can enjoy, do not please take this beautiful programme away from us. Anne. Thank you.
