Name: Brian Fearns on Jan 13, 2013Comments: BBC, It is most indecent of you to change the timing of, 'Sunday Half Hour,' to a time that is indecent for many of our elderly people who cannot maintain a computer as suggested to catch up on their most loved programme. Please do not sink the BBC any lower.Flag

Name: Paul Bright on Jan 13, 2013Comments: The Closing of BBC R2 Sunday Half Hour. I cannot believe how insensitive the BBC Programme Schedulers can be to the traditional audience of a well-loved programme.. Do they not realise how many older people, who may be house-bound or living in care homes or may be unable to attend a place of worship, especially during the dark winter evenings or may feel unsafe going out at night, look forward to listening to the singing of well-loved hymns, introduced by a sympathetic presenter and with the added joy of knowing that their relatives or friends are, at exactly the same time, also enjoying the same programme. These are not the people who will be up at 6.00 a.m., certainly not in residential care. Once again the BBC assumes that all its listeners have access to the internet and iPlayers. Please get out and talk to your audience.Flag

Name: Lucy Morrissey on Jan 13, 2013Comments: There is little enough religious broadcasting as it is - please retain this interesting half hour. 6am is an impossible time for the elderly who cannot get to church during the day and appreciate the possibility of listening to a religious half hour at the end of the day.Flag

Name: Mrs Mary Baird on Jan 14, 2013Comments: I have enjoyed listening to this programme for many years. Also this programme has meant a lot & been enjoyed by my elderly mother & other friends & relatives at a convenient time on a Sunday. Many older people do not have i-players. Many live alone & this was a comfort & friend to them. They are not listening to the radio between 6 & 7am!! We are VERY upset that this programme is being moved & sidelined. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK TO 8.30pmFlag

Name: Ed Hudson on Jan 14, 2013Comments: My mother has listened to Sunday half our for many years. She will not be able to listen at 6am because it is much too early for her. It is simply being replaced by a celebrity (Michael Ball). Radio 2 is marginalizing Christian programmes. again. Why not run the programme AM & PM if they want to increase the audience, which they claim is the reason?Flag

Name: John Mollett on Jan 14, 2013Comments: as one of those who listened to this program as a young child with the drone of german bombers as a background noise, and constantly ever since I deplore the decision to axe this program which has given a boost to morale and still comforts the spirit in old age. There must be many who look forward to this half hour of peace in a troubled world.Flag

Name: Mr And Mrs Heath-Bullock on Jan 14, 2013Comments: Sunday evening is the perfect time for this programme We find it hard to believe listeners will be up at 6am on a Sunday morning: so is this a subtle way of killing off the programme?Flag

My Mother loves the show... has no computer... has carers in who put her to bed and Sunday Half Hour lulls her to sleep... now she has to centend with Michael Ball!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 14, 2013Comments: Unfortunately how many elderly people have an iplayer or access to one? It was nice to hear last thing at night to close the day. I will miss it very much as will my parents - none of us are up at 6am! what a time to have it - although an hour programme would be nice....Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 14, 2013Comments: This is discriminatory practice against all those who have no computer access. In particular this will affect the elderly and vulnerable who probably are the one group who enjoy the programme as they are unable to attend church. The next step will be to discontinue the programme due to "falling numbers”.Flag

Name: Norma Virgoe on Jan 14, 2013Comments: I have listened to Sunday Half Hour for years, but I will not be able to listen at 6 am. It is a ridiculous time to hold such a programme and is clearly a way to shuffle it off the air. So relatively few people will listen then that we will be told that it will have to be deleted altogether as numbers have so declined. It is a way of removing it from the air altogether.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 14, 2013Comments: 6am is unacceptable for the majority of listeners. Have they surveyed the present listening audience and confirmed we all have iplayer access because that seems to be the BBC's get out clause for this schedule change. Why not give Michael Ball 7 - 8.30pm and leave SHH where it is and tell Clare Balding to start at 6am the same as previous presenters have.Flag

Name: Ian D. Gardner on Jan 14, 2013Comments: My wife and I have regularly listened to Sunday Half Hour for years and were very disappointed to hear that it is being moved to 6am when we are still asleep. Listening to the programme on our computer would not be the same as feeling we were part of a countrywide group of people all listening at the same time. And in any case many of our age-group (70+) do not have computers.Flag

Name: Susan Lawrence on Jan 14, 2013Comments: A delightful and uplifting programme presented with such warmth by Diane Louise Jordan will now be hidden away and lost to most of its loyal fans as they are the group less likely to have access to iplayer, as the BBC knows full well. A cynical pretext under which to remove a Christian broadcast from the evening schedules and a shameful lack of consideration for this particular audience.Flag
