Oh no, no no no no. He's all ours. OURS, I tell you.

Gio: it is back there, as a general refrain. I just don't want to personalise things, when it is the ideas which are so important here.
And I'd like to be told who wrote that and where, because I get the strong impression that this general refrain has existed only in the heads of the people who are arguing against Concert, and not in the actual words of those who are arguing for.

I was attempting to avoid naming names but Jan Farr did so some time back,
I know it's me but I'm buggered if I can find that comment.

Concert FM receives $1 (or 5%) of the roughly $50 per capita in total that goes into public broadcasting schemes in New Zealand.
$1 is 2% of $50.

ust in terms of some of the judgements being made about cultural value/cultural capital (evoking Bourdieu) eg classical music is 'serious'.
Who said that?
So, the rest is what? If we were truly egalitarian, should we not also be calling bfm to be fully funded, Sofie's soul music station to hit the airwaves (I would be an avid listener), a station for children's music etc etc?
I'd be in favour of having more stations. I'm not sure why it would have to be all or nothing, which is another strong theme of the thread. But I'd also point out that some of the genres your advocating for are in fact at least represented on our airwaves. (And children music, that *can* actually be borrowed for free at least). The issue with the music played by the concert programme is that without the station it just wouldn't be there.
That said, I'm all for creating more publicly funded arts and music channels, no question about that.

The Univ of Canterbury self-appointed guardian of all that is Great and Good in culture--and a pox upon what might be popular and cheerful and ephemeral.
I know who he is. I'd still ask you to be less vague in terms of the specific Duttonish claims made here.

I'd go onto to make a list of what other people have already said, but I suspect you wouldn't read that either.
You think? :-)

There is a rather worrying Denis Duttonish view of the world creeping into some of the judgements being made hee.
Feel free to be less vague. Because I find the explicit claims repeatedly made here about the music played on RNZ Concert being the entitled prerogative of a privileged class to be - how shall I put this? - bollocks.
-
But the argument for Concert FM is something along the lines of: 'it doesn't cost much, I want it and fuck you.'
If you say so.

make a case why i should subsidise classical music at the expense of other forms and i won't mind ?
I am not your monkey.
