I just want to hear music. That complaint can apply to any DJ/host on air (including on commercial radio) who, depending on my mood, decides to test my patience by going beyond calling out the previous/next songs in the playlist. At least Tom is staying on in the mornings on Radio 2, but with a far less emphasis on classical. @Don: I have nothing against Tom Allen or Laurie Brown. I just want to hear music.

He's a bright guy who brings a wealth of knowledge to the program and his comments often make me appreciate the music more. I miss that when I listen to the offerings like those that can be found on Galaxie or on www.theclassicalstation.org I don’t think taking an offhand swipe against Tom Allen is appropriate when his job is on the line (besides, he’s been doing it for ten years so he’s not a recent addition), and in fact I like much of his commentary.
