I remember a thread about this a few months back, and now, the powers that be, have had their way.[urlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12333440[/url

Oh no. One of the few decent radio programmes has been shifted, to make way for the achingly dull Jo Whiley, and her morbid fixation for all things indie. Radcliffe and Maconie's show was entertaining and (at times, pretty funny) with great banter.
Just Ken Bruce left for me now (twice popmaster winner).

. I'm far too old for Radio 1 (and my taste in music has had no crossover to their playlist in the last 15 years), and I detest commercial radio, except 106.1 Rock Radio and Planet Rock (digital)

Suits me down to the ground.

Radio 1 and 2 are absolute dogpooh radio stations. As long as it doesn't ruin the high standard of Cocker's or Laverne's shows on the better BBC channels, i am fine with it. And Jo Whiley is, IMO, the biggest disgrace in this country. Does she not realize she is a 45 year old, annoying Loud mouth with absolutely NO musical taste. In fact link that to the gears thread.

That is a crap decision, on both counts.

Radio 2 has been going down the drain for a few years now. Only programme thats worth a listen is Saturday morning "Sounds of The Sixties".
During the week,as soon as Steve Wright comes on I turn it over to Radio 6.

To put a slightly different slant on this issue.

Jo Whiley: would you?

Good God, no!

By putting that slant on it, I think that you are indicating that you would.........

Twice popmaster winner !!!, now that is impressive (damn name the year).

Seems a strange move for Whiley, especially with the success live lounges currently have, although Fearne cotton now does these so probably felt it was time to go to the more 'mature' station.
Do wonder why Radio one doesn't just go private, functions like any other commercial radio station in content and style.

Jo Wiley looks like Rhys Evans

Bring back Atlantic 252

Damn legal nonsensical rubbish

....and got the 3 in 10 both times (with a tiny bit of help from Mrs Goldblatt)

Jo Whiley....would you? NO....it would be like going back 10 years, to the Viz "Borderline Boilers" page

And as for Fearne Cotton (as somebody mentioned above), is there a more air-headed human being on the planet. She makes Paris Hilton seem like Prof. Steven Hawking

Agreed, i switch over to a top ten at ten when she's on.

Depends on how many pints I'd had. I probably would.

Definite MILF.

without hesitation..... i wouldn't let her put any background music on though.

response of the year so far, deckchair, but only the end of the response

Whiley is a no no. Ms Reid (my location) on the other hand...

I always struggle with the '3 in 10', believe I've only got it once, sadly that was Georgie Fame hits !!!!!!!

What has happened to Steve Berry off Rock Radio?

Really gutted about Radcliffe and Maconie. I was heartbroken as a lad when Mark and lard got moved to the breakfast slot and finally got binned off.

It has happened again.

Radio 1 and 2 have just merged into pure popularism poop.

can anyone recommend a good DAB tuner for the car? i will be needing one.

Properly gutted about this

Fearne Cotton.....



She epitomises the present day fascination with talentless 'celebrities' who inhabit our everyday existance......Its all the fault of tabloid rags and magazines like 'Heat' which promote these useless types.

Personally, I believe Cotton belongs in the same category of gormless celebs as Moyles, Davina McCall, Katie Price, Peter Andre, etc.....Idiots, who think the public should be an unwilling audience to the 'drama' of their lives.

Nostrils.
