 Radio 4 to scrap it's uk theme tune UK Theme, a familiar wake-up call for thousands of Radio 4 listeners, is to be axed after 30 years. It has marked the 5.30am switchover from the World Service to Radio 4 since 1973, and Fritz Spiegl's five-minute arrangement honouring the four home countries includes snatches of Scotland the Brave, Men of Harlech and Londonderry Air. Is the BBC right to get rid of it? Or is it good riddance to a worn-out tradition? What, if anything, should replace it? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...006801,00.html Personally, I like it...on the rare occasions that I'm awake to hear it. Better than ANOTHER news bulletin.
