Goodness Gracious No!
Could we get some confirmation of this 'news' from Mr. Peel himself?

If it is true, let's start an e-mail petition campaign to keep Peel on the World Service airwaves.

** U K. Glenn: Met a BBC reporter from Washington at Eli�n Gonz�lez` <BR>
hearing this morning in Atlanta. He says new BBC director, Dyke, is a <BR>
breath of fresh air and has been an improvement. He says one of his <BR>
first acts was to end the much-criticized policy that requires the <BR>
various radio outlets to pay to get discs from the library or to find <BR>
out how to pronounce a word.<BR>
<BR>
I also lamented to him that John Peel appears to disappear from the<BR>
BBC WS schedule after next week, replaced on all of the muddied <BR>
streams by Steve Lamacq, who plays a more commercial alternative-rock <BR>
style than the wide variety of styles Peel has been playing for <BR>
decades. It was bad enough that we went from 3 x 30 min Peel every <BR>
week to 1 x 25 min. Now we're losing it completely, with absolutely <BR>
no explanation in the marginally useful "On Air" magazine. Rgds (Mike <BR>
