Serendipity ?

Has ruthless BBC Sounds supremo James Purnell unleashed his public service algorithm already ?

My preferred listening slot for 'Fortunately', the idle musings of Fi Glover and Jane Garvey, is 0905 Saturdays (thus cannibalising the R4 audience and avoiding Saturday Live). The last two weekends I have left my preferred device (Sony Experia) alone on the desk. Last week, it auto-reverted to a Radio Northampton gardening phone-in (one live call, the rest made up by the presenter). This week it was 'Farm Gate' on BBC Radio Ulster.

The algorithm has got me where it hurts.
