Not telling you

The BBC line on rejecting FOI inquiries as "out of scope" seems to be getting harder by the day..

Q: ‘The Radio Two service licence requires the station to broadcast over 1,100 hours of specialist music programmes each year. Please would you set out for me the programmes in week commencing 18 February 2013 that Radio Two regards as counting towards this target.’

A: The information you have requested is excluded from the Act because it is held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’ The BBC is therefore not obliged to provide this information to you and will not be doing so on this occasion.

I wonder if the BBC Trust, who set the terms of these service licences after public consultation, think this should be a secret thing...   Maybe inquirer Eddie Cole should write to them.
