... or the art of ignoring criticism? I might have thought that, having been severely criticised for sending more than 400 people to Glastonbury, the BBC would rein back attendance at T in the Park.
Not a chance. If it takes 324 people to cover a pop festival then that is what the the BBC will send. Never mind that in recessionary times it might be wise to pull in your horns a little; who cares what the licence-payer may think. The BBC - after all - can apparently do no wrong, at least in its own eyes.

Moaning for the sake of moaning. I guess that's what blogging is for though. The BBC actually invest some time, money and energy in promoting an event in Scotland and you think it's arrogant?
Of what relevance is the fact that we're in a recession, when the BBC exists on a fixed income? To cut back coverage for the sake of appearance would be far worse.
I could be wrong, but I suspect that that T in The Park coverage actually works out to be quite cheap compared to the same number of hours of drama or comedy, and probably around the same cost per hour as reality tv and talent shows.
