    Think in 4-5 years time it might launch and suspect that in eary 2030s Radio 2 may ditch sound of the 60s potentially.

    I can see that, but it depends if there's anyone left alive to moan. People are living longer now. It won't happen but there needs to be a 'Radio 3' that rivals smooth, playing everything pre 1990. Radio 2 has too much of an age range on it's plate.

    Yep when you look at early 00s it was a boom period for so many different genres of music. Loved early 00s

    Golden era. Then I had 10 years of tracks that stapled my youth from about 1997 to 2007, so across 2 decades. When I listened to Radio 1 a lot, and they still played 90s stuff frequently till about 2002. I was still a fairly young person when 2010 came around at 22-23 years old. Thing is though, even being a young person through a lot of the 10's the music never had that same 'impact' I felt. It was mostly too much of the same artists, same production, built to be a flash in the pan. A sign of the times we lived and still live in, social media heavy. Nothing lasts. Not that there wernt good songs, but they never seemed to make an impact on the world as tracks did from say the previous 5 decades.

    Doing a nostalgia show for the 10's I would find hard personally, because nothing instantly jumps out at me aside from Little Mix, Ed Sheeran or novelty records like Gangnam Style. Just what I see of it and I was involved in a fair chunk of 2010s.

    The problem is with Radio 2 having the 00s stuff, is that they need to grow some balls so to speak. We can't have play it safe Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Will Young all the time. They need to play stuff like Pendulum, Linkin Park, Slipknot. Some of the popular dance and trance stuff too. This is how the 00s was and how we remember it. Otherwise if they don't it still suits Radio 1 better.

    I like the idea of it. I remember bank holidays and the takeovers that used to happen back in the day, Chappers and Dave were on once playing all sorts of stuff. Also, it gives Radio 1 a chance to see what their demographic know of music that could be older than 5 years.

    They are 'OK' but that's about as far as it goes for me, then saying that it's Radio 1 in general now for me anyway. Likewise to the above, when Scott is on I'm tuned into him because his show just suits better. It's more the music that makes me switch about nowdays. 2 when 80s before my time comes on, and 1 when 'gimmie a quid or man will stab ya nan' type grime comes on.

    Interesting Ken Bruce saying the new music pushed him away from Radio 2 in the end

    If Ken regards new music as something from 2002 then his time had come I'm afraid. A lot of Radio 2's new music on their playlist is from established artists like Bev Knight, Keane, Simply Red etc. They are even playing a new song from Dolly Parton at the moment.

    Is it really a massive problem him being there for a while longer? He's not heavily reliant on the music played as its drastically cut down as its a speech show. So that's not an issue, he still seems pretty popular. There's been a lot of change at Radio 2 recently, there needs to be some stability for a while.

    Ken Bruce's Radio 2 show was too old for me, nothing against him but I never went out of my way to listen. For the first time the other day though I heard his greatest hits show for half an hour. It's just not the same for him, and the limited music and adverts stop him getting into his full flow. It won't last there imo. Vernon is sounding decent, listened to him a fair bit this week. I think he'll grow into that more and more, and this time next year the figures will show it.

    I'm also old enough to remember the Lisa L'anson thing, that was far bigger than this.

    I don't mind this really, it's a small telling off and move on. Radio 1 has been ever since I've listened, too nicey nicey at times. Now more than ever. That's why I loved when Moyles for instance back in the day basically said what he thought sometimes about a song. It was entertaining.

    No chance in hell every DJ loves every song on the playlist. Not everything is brilliant to everyone as its portrayed on air sometimes. Not saying slag tunes off every show, but if there's something you just don't get the appeal of it makes good radio to say what you think.
