Why does the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ think we only want to watch Andeee???

Why is it that American musical history was recently featured and the archives trawled for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four and yet music equally relevant to today's British society gets relegated to Red Button.
Great though it was to see & hear Lata Mangeshkar on the Beeb, this was a poor substitute for what it could & should have been.
