-----Original Message-----From: dotun adebayo [mailto:dotunadebayo@hotmail.com] Sent: 07 September 2006 00:50To: Penny WroutCc: Geoff Schumann-BBC London RadioSubject: RE: SUNDAY NIGHT SPECIAL Just one thing, Penny, I was dismayed at our colleague Geoff Schumann'dissing' the Sunday Night Special's item on 'Shoot the Messenger' onSunday. After a fantastic response (over fifty calls) to our coverageof the story and interview with the author, it was disheartening to hearGeoff's opening gambit when he came on air at 10.00pm about how if hehad had the item on his programme how differently he would have done it.Frankly this was totally unprofessional and undermining of the station'soutput. All the more sad because we actively encourage listeners to staytuned to him after 10pm and remind them to keep the calls coming in forhis programme, whereas I have not heard him once even thank us for thepreceding programme.I am copying this message to Geoff so that he is of no misapprehensionas to how I feel, but I would appreciate if you spoke to him directlyabout his unhelpful and unconstructive on-air criticism.SincerelyDotun
