I am disgusted but not surprised - it all seems entirely in character. Journalism being the clubby little affair that it is, I guess we should also not be too shocked that the Swiss media aren't picking up the story of Mottaz' antics. How about writing to the Tribune de Geneve or contacting its media correspondent - and pointing them in the direction of the Swiss journalists' union newsletter item? Let's hope that Radio Leman gets going and picks off all WRS's talent... That made very interesting reading, eartotheground. I am disgusted but not surprised – it all seems entirely in character.

Their attitude seems to be, "If we ignore it, it'll go away..." I suggest we don't let it. Any ideas on who we can write to, who we can complain to? I'd like to DO something but I don't know where to start! On the news front, apparently Mark really is recuperating from a foot thing in hospital (gout?) (oh, sorry, that was snide...) and will be back soon, but now Connor, who was supposed to be back on the Breakfast Show this week, has suddenly disappeared too... I called in to ask where he was, and was told he's "on holiday." Without warning. Yadda yadda yadda... Except for Hansine and Laura, it seems that anyone with charm, brains and a great voice is getting the axe or quitting. Has it occurred to management that there are actually listeners out there getting more and more disgusted with the hemorrhage of talent? Horsesmouth, any suggestions?
