And now, Bolivia

It's RAJAR week, and I'm wondering if, this quarter, bosses can be persuaded to release listening figures for R4's The World Tonight, rather than just Today.

Slowly, the effective merger with teams producing Newshour for the World Service has shifted the agenda, now balanced in favour of stuff made earlier for an international audience. The contrast with the sharp and bouncy Westminster Hour on Sunday nights is stark. And it's a shame. 

News must be saving money here, on the back of a World Service blessed with ring fenced funding and buoyed by FCO investment. New Controller R4 Mohit Bakaya might like to review whether or not he and his audience are getting the best bang for their bucks weeknights at 10pm.
