Bring back Film Buff's Forecast

The issue

The RRR FM show Film Buff's Forecast has "provided a substantial platform for informed and considered discussion about film culture on both a national and international platform" for over 30 years in a very entertaining, engaging and independent fashion. We the undersigned from the radio-listening and film-loving community believe it is more important to keep this valuable show alive in its current format rather than replace it with a show to "open up our Saturday afternoon programming to focus entirely on music". The show also provides a vehicle to highlight works from Australian film makers in the same vein that RRR FM provides a vehicle for local and national musicians. Thus the continuation of Film Buff's Forecast will provide the community with a platform that encourages intelligent in-depth discussion of film culture, highlights news in the Australian film community, and provides a bloody great 2 hours of Saturday afternoon radio.
