Or having to talk with a <i>fawning</i> travel 'girl'. And yes I mean 'girl' as they are clearly chosen for their ability to vocally 'decorate' the dj's shows + add to the BBC's obsession with <i>'gender balance'</i>! <br /><br />The DJ's should read the travel news = cheaper faster/clearer!<br /><br /><b>If Ofcom/commercial radio was doing its job properly rather than just aiming at under-30s, Radio 2 would have about 5 million LESS listeners. </b>Len Groathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823414281269367598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-63442199825873171182015-02-21T13:28:19.229+01:002015-02-21T13:28:19.229+01:00Thank you for your feedback Dave and Len.
Len, in...Thank you for your feedback Dave and Len.<br /><br />Len, in terms of mature broadcasters then purely based on age Ken Bruce, Steve Wright and Simon Mayo are now all older than Ray Moore was at the time I made that recording. I suspect you're talking more about their attitude and approach to broadcasting. <br />As for the JAM jingles, well you're kicking into a open goal there, they are fantastic.

But forget the BBC's obsession with <i>gender misbalance</i> now, why does it not have MATURE presenters like Ray Moore, Colin Berry and David Hamilton now? <br /><br />It's become very <i>ageist</i><br /><br />The JAM jingles are far superior to the over-produced little 'songs' they use now.</b>Len Groathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823414281269367598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-47070106140836720302015-02-18T23:41:34.516+01:002015-02-18T23:41:34.516+01:00Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed liste...Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed listening to these clips today. I used to listen to all these shows. Somehow Radio 2 just isn't the same today. I particularly miss Ray Moore, Terry Wogan at Breakfast and John Dunn. Thanks, Andy, for all the hard work you must have put in to making these available. It is very much appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897832123465026116noreply@blogger.com
