I am aware that one of my colleagues wishes to contribute. Sound and vision is an excellent programme and coming from Galway, where we have many creative people, I very much welcome it. The piece around music shows needs to be addressed as well and I hope the commission will do that. I hear bits of news coming into these shows and it is not always balanced. At times, it can be a little populist. I do not think it is the fault of the show. Perhaps it has not been targeted enough. I will not mention the stations but there are some shows that can be lifestyle-related, even if they are mainly music. These are what many people listen to. They are the flagship shows on many of these stations and that point probably does need to be addressed.
