Tuning into the World Service

The problem of World Service airways being 'hijacked' by other stations

Praise for some programmes, a complaint about grammar, then correspondence on the difficulty of tuning into the World Service. Frequency Manager, Jim Chilton explains the problem of frequency overlaps.
The signature tune for a programme about 17th century British writer Daniel Defoe strikes a discordant note with one listener. Producer John Pickford defends the choice and talks more about the writer and his work.
