Radio 1 back in the day when it was never overun by ridicolous presenters waffling on about nonsense .
Today the listening audience lap it up , send us your texts , photos , voice mails etc, we will big you up .

Andy Peebles always had a neutral approach to broadcasting , Manchester based it I remember vaguely .

Some of the Radio Presenters I am forced to listened to these day are totally hysterical and OTT .

Age thing I know .

I concur.
I was listening to my chum Whispering Bob yesterday afternoon and thought a similar thought.

Scott Mills keeps banging on about his husband, Sara Cox and Vernon Kay bang on about Bolton and Zoe Ball withered on about everything. Radio two has become unlistenable

Must have missed the nonsene waffle of Sarah Cox announcing herself as a Bolton lass followed by her being a proud born and bread Northener .

Last time I looked Bolton was in Lancashire , bit away from them up North .

Name dropping is another issue grinding my gears , you chatted to some wannabe at a freebie night out then continue to plug that meeting all show , what a lovely guy and his music is a must listen .

Whilst on my soapbox Commercial Radio presenters introducing Robbie or Elton as their next song lined up .
Your not on first name terms with these artists for goodness sake .

Lisa Tarbuck has the obscure Saturday Evening slot on R2 , but what a listen and great fun .

Daytime Radio would never tolerate her broadcasting style sadly .

That's why I listen to 6. At least Lauren Laverne and Craig Charles are interesting.
