The Editor, Sir:

Arguably, RJR 94 FM produces the best daily newscast in terms of content, context and presentation, and their evening current affairs programme Beyond the Headlines is incisively informative, thanks mainly to the interviewing skills of Dionne Jackson Miller.

But, unlike RJR News, this group of stations currently does not distinguish itself in its music presentations; three channels found guilty of what is being broadly described in some circles as 'dumbing down' of the music. JBC FM must be rolling over where it is buried and wherever Cecile Wilson is she must be sorely displeased.

Hardly any variation

Hardly any variation is being presented; it is all about the music of the young who, truth be told, rarely listen to radio. The programmers would be surprised to note that the average age of the RJR listenership may be about the age of the parents of the catered young, but who are turned off by the kind of music being aired.

With three channels one would think RJR would cover the entire spectrum and musical tastes to satisfy a wider, varied audience, instead they cater to the smallest listening demography.

I am, etc;
