Vernon teasing a big announcement today. It better not be that he’s taking on drive time. Unless I get Gary on for mid morning 🤣
Was just coming on to post this! I wonder if he’s stepping down or swapping. Or something really unrelated like a Stirling announcement 🥱

I’d be happy if he stood down!

But yeah, could well be something boring about the Stirling weekend!

Dean a fan favourite? I have always found it strange Aled who was the laughing stock of the Chris Moyles show is the big boss.

Hope that GK fails in her six weel trial and it doesn't get extended. It's a disgrace pardon the pun that it won't be live.

Vicky is someone I like but her third new co host she just isn't trusted to host alone.
i don’t get it. if she’s doing a 2hr slot every weekday at 1pm, what are matt & mollie doing?

ETA wait, it’s not even live??

Rickie from RMC is 46?! To be fair probably pushing it for a young radio station 🤣

Thankfully GK is only doing Thursdays . Presumably she’s doing it pre recorded as when Radio 1 gave her a run of shows last summer, she swore on air in the second show. Which kinda makes it even more ridiculous that she’s been given a second run at it !

How is GK Barry going to bring new engagement if her show is pre recorded and the listeners can’t text in? Where’s the engagement in that?
Interesting that the article says they have no replacement ready for Greg if he decides to go which we’ve been saying for ages

Did anyone hear Ellie doing the traffic during Sara's show this morning? It's almost awkward to listen to given how chatty Ellie can be with Garry and Vernon. There def appears to be no love lost there!

I'd not listened to Sara's show for more than a couple of mins but heard the first half hour this morning before Greg as I had an earlier start; in that period they were interacting and having a bit of a laugh but it was very clearly forced 🥴
Ellie reminds me of one of those women in an office who's always bantering with the lads and "just gets on better with men" and so does Sara to a degree so I was expecting this dynamic tbh

Christ Sara did kids in a car this morning. Surely surely surely it can’t continue beyond this week when kids are all back to school. I keep persevering with it as I liked her on tea time and have listened to radio 2 breakfast out of habit for a long time but the new show is genuinely dreadful. Stop the stupid irritating sound efforts. It’s so grating. I swear she didn’t do it as much on tea time??. She is also really hamming up her constant jokes and being ‘daft’ and seems to be the only one allowed to be ‘funny’ so the rest of the team are just flat and lifeless. They need to switch out Ellie as it’s not working. She has much better rapport with Ritchie as much as I find him annoying too at least there was banter and he’s confident enough to speak up alongside her. I really thought with the new school term and her having a break last week they were planning to come back with a more dialled down and less CBBC vibe but it’s still the same nonsense. Urgh

I can’t believe anyone is enjoying this breakfast show on radio 2. I’m back on radio x and that isn’t great.

Listening to the last Ricky, Melvin and Charlie show today got me unexpectedly emotional. I’m dreading Jerry joining Charlie to do the live lounge. I like Charlie, but one of the reasons why RMC worked well was that they all seemed to genuinely have passion for music, not just the genre they specialised in. Jerry doesn’t seem to know that anything that isn’t dance.
I’m actually gutted they are gone, as you say they really gelled together and it’s cause they are genuine pals. I’m not keen on Jerry. I’ll need to find a new station to listen to.

I might be in a minority but I can’t stand GK and won’t be listening, I also hope she fails. The article says they want to do attract younger listeners - do young people listen to the radio? My oldest is nearly 18 and he listens to everything on his phone but not the actual radio, he only listens to that when I’ve got it blasting out 🤣
