I personally enjoy the consumer programmes and am alarmed that 'In Touch' for the blind and partially sighted could go. AFAIK this is the only programme of its kind.

What do others think?
I guess the problem is that these programmes attract only a minority audience, and if they don't have enough popular programming, people would start to question whether Radio 4 was still relevant for today's audience.

However, there is also Radio 4 Extra, so I see no reason why some minority programmes cannot be transferred to that station.
