Can we have
A BBC Radio thread?
A BBC Radio thread?
I usually switch over to MB after listening to Tim Arthur on BBC London. But I am increasingly downloading previously broadcast programmes on the BBC Sounds App and then listening to them when I have free time. The Sounds App is a fantastic resource. There aren't enough hours in the day to listen to all the great radio they produce.I like radio 2 on a Saturday to listen to Rylan and Sunday Michael Ball.
I don't like Zoe Ball show but this week Rylan is stepping in for her so I will be listening.I listen to Radio 2 All day long until about the end of Jo Whiley show at 9pm. However I’m not a fan of Zoe Ball breakfast show as I can’t stand all the childish CBeebies bits ie.. Show and Tell .. l whoop Di woo “how amazing“ Etc listening to a 5 year old singing or playing the recorder out of tune at 7.45am is total cringe tune out time! Although saying that it it’s totally repetitive on the music playlists by the end of the day.
Lots of the R2 output IS dire. The specialist music documentaries are worth seeking out. Johnny Walker often does good interviews on his Sunday programme.I used to listen to Radio 2 but cant stand the narrow choice in music, then not a fan of Ken Bruce or Steve Wright, or now Sarah Cox.
Am 5 live or Radio 4 all the way!!
i love Nicky Campbell and Rachel in the morning, they make me laugh and bring all the news!
The listening figures came out recently. They weren’t good. Lots of listeners were lost after Chris Evans left, and lots were lost when they paired up Jo Whiley with Simon Mayo too. That pairing was a TERRIBLE idea. The controller of Radio 2 is leaving. Don’t know if he jumped or was pushed.I love Greg James on Radio 1 breakfast, and Rachel and Nicky on 5 live. I alternate between the two on the way to work.
