Radio 2

[Tj hooker]

So the legend Ken Bruce bows out in a very classy way from his last Mid Morning show on Radio 2 with the Beatles Golden Slumbers/ Carry that weight classic. 

You can't help but  think that the BBC have dropped a bollock by letting him leave Imo.

Yep, I insisted on having him on in the office this morning. Legend doesn't do him justice.

I'm listening to it on sounds as and when I get chance, doing bloody call critiquing at present so I'm only about an hour into the show.

 

Have to get on to greatest hits to listen to popmaster.

Gary Davies is pretty good- apparently he is launching the new daily music quiz.

 

They should have given him a go but not trendy enough and not enough hilarious celeb mates anecdotes that Vernon no doubt has lined up

Absolutely fucking zero reason to listen to Radio 2 now.

Tony Blackburn on a Saturday morning is about it now. 
 

@Jairzinho will still tune in for Jeremy Vine though.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

 

And by "it" I am of course referring to the miniscule chance that he dies an absolutely horrific death live on air.

Never get a chance to listen on a Saturday morning. 
 

I knew it was the fucking end for me (except Bruce) last Easter, was driving back from Bristol on the evening and they had a load of religious shite on followed by drum and bass.

Spot on. It is as a few people have said 1990's / 2000's Radio 1 now.

 

Ken Bruce has gone, Craig Charles has gone, Radcliffe and Maconie have gone, nowt worth listening to left on there.

And you never want to risk catching that cunt Sarah Cox by mistake.

The quiz replacing Popmaster is fucking rubbish I understand they had to come up with something but it feels like they have thrown it together in 20 minutes

They haven’t recovered since Simon mayo left after the breakfast show with Jo Whiley was canned. After 7pm radio 2 is still ok. Everything else is like a bodged abortion.

[Poor Scouser T]

Having Vennesa Phelps (sp) cover for people on holiday did for me.

Gary Davies is making the show his own- its making The Vernon Kay appointment seem worse by the day and is going to be a hell of a jolt when Kay starts.

Radio 2 has gone right down the pan. Fuck me. Zoe Ball and Vernon Kay - absolute shite.

 

I used to listen to Paul Salt on the Radio Merseyside breakfast show but they've given him the boot and the replacement show is WOEFUL. Totally woeful. 

 

Where do we go from here? Can't stand Greatest Hits radio, it's the same 15 songs over and over with a tonne of adverts.

 

I'm trying 6 Music but again, since Shaun Keaveney left it's not been the same.

 

Shite!

I put Absolute Radio on the other morning and had to turn it off after barely a minute. Two whooping morons and their sycophantic sidekicks laughing hysterically at their lame jokes. It's not even as if the music's any good, 'real music' my arse.

I'm not sure what's worse - the team presenters were you get all sort gegging in, or the ones who do it on their own and love the sound of their own voice.

 

The state of radio is woeful. I've decided to listen to Paul Gambaccini's pick of the pops, although he's a bit smug as well. 

[Creator Supreme]

My missus has some terrible stations on in the car, Capital, City, Smooth, Heart, all fucking woeful.

Shite! 

Ive fucked Radio 2 off since they binned Ken. Don’t mind greatest hits to be fair but Im back on Radio X. Radio Merseyside can either be brilliant or utterly boring so I wait a minute and if it’s the latter I swerve to X. 

[johnsusername]

Vernon Kay, Sara Cox, Zoe Ball - someone needs shooting for these decisions.

Gary Davies's show is a million times better than Vernon Kay. 

 

Can't stand Kay's voice. And he just talks shit. 

 

Gary Davies might be old school, but I think that helps for DJs. It's what I prefer anyway. Can't be doing with ex TV or music people pretending to DJ. Or in the case of Vernon Kay, an ex male model.
