Before I went to the page I was hoping it meant prog was going to get its own weekly slot on R2, like jazz, dance bands, folk, brass bands, organs, but this looks interesting all the same.

Another piece of history to bite the dust...
NME turns into a free sheet due to falling circulation.

I used to buy an NME and a Melody Maker every Thursday and read them both, cover to cover, in the bath that evening. Happy days

Interesting page from the Peel archives, more folk than prog but worth listening.

I got 3, 4 and 6 wrong, but having spent my youth sailing across the North Sea a lot, that's quite bad. Also, having sailed, the "backing" question was the only one I was 100% sure about.
