Interesting Ken Bruce saying the new music pushed him away from Radio 2 in the end
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/n...s-real-reason-162040514.html
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.

Scott and Chris Moyles didn't live in each others pockets but I believe they were on good terms. Chris Moyles contributed to a few things during Scott's drivetime show once or twice. Like the 'busted' call where someone was trying to sell stories of Moyles to the tabloids. And Scott set it up that Moyles exposed the individual involved.

I'll have a look at a rundown of who's presenting on CBBC these days and get back to you on that.

Is life hacks basically like BBC Switch from 2008? I've never listened tbh.

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.

It is a bit of a bizarre one. I couldn't imagine back 20 years ago Judge Jules doing a live Radio 1 show and Dave Pearce turning up wasted saying your tunes are pish. Usually all the dance jocks teamed up back then, and told Westwood he was shite.

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.

Still can't think of Enrique Iglesias' music without thinking of Jo Whiley on a rollercoaster or the women's tennis. Not that I hear his stuff too much!
Or the start of Barry Whites just the way you are.

When you suddenly recall "Brokeback Westwood" from about 2006 in the middle of the night.

Mark and Lard used to joke about their appearance but hey everybody is something to somebody!
Wasn't such a thing back then, although they didn't give a toss about much anyway. As they had Kylie voice one of their sweepers saying "Don't worry girls... they're ugly!"
Nowdays I think with social media it feels that the face for radio type days are gone, you do have to look the part now too it seems.
-
Well if they are too hot they are obviously too sick to be at work and need to rest up at home.
Now back in the days of yore, Mark and Lard were quite the lookers as demonstrated here.
These days, in all seriousness. I wouldn't kick Sarah Story out of bed for a month, I doubt she feels likewise about me mind.

Sorry sir, that's Mark and Lard territory. If anything reminds me of Scott it's "onnnnlllllytt bleyeyeteeyeey friiiiiiiddaaaaaayyyyyy!"

If you're talking the dance shows. Around 1996 to 2004 were peak years for dance on Radio 1. 2 factors for that was dance music was at it's most creative that I can remember, tracks didn't burn out as easy and lots became staple anthems. Every genre was at the top of it's game. Secondly the BBC and Radio 1 in general had more budget and cash to splash. Meaning we got more live shows from Creamfields, Homelands, Ibiza etc.
There was nothing like hearing Jules' Saturday show live from Creamfields in 2001 when the atmosphere was electric. Or Pete Tong's Essential Selection on a Friday, live from Ibiza at cafe mambo with the crowd in the back. Just made you want to be there.
I think the current crop have picked things up in recent years. The quality of dance music around 10 years ago went through a very, very poor spell. And it was mostly Pete Tong and Annie Mac holding it all together for Radio 1, post Judge Jules, Dave Pearce era.
Friday nights are decent right now with Danny Howard's energetic show, Sarah Story covering the deeper side of whats new. And then Pete Tong. We still live in a burnout world, I've noticed all 3 move on very fast from songs, and it's hard to keep up with what they are playing. Last years songs and memories are a million years ago, very few survive as anthems. Even though it will never be as 20 odd years ago, things are in a better place than 10 years ago imo.

Never mind Kylie and Facelift being on the playlist. Jojo is back! Where the hell has she been!? "Get out, right naaawww!"
-
It's never been the same since Mark Goodier went. Wes looked after the remains quite well for a few years after. But since CD singles, vinyl etc don't count at all anymore it's lost its magic a very long time ago.
-
Radio 2 is changing so why not try it? We've been hearing less 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's recently on the old 2. Apart from standout massive tunes (Beatles, Sinatra, Queen, Blondie etc). The changes were brave but seem to have worked, so give bingo a go imo. I'd actually like celebrity call bought back for a one off too!

She was. With Alison Hammond and Kate Lawler.
You know I just must of missed her. The only ever bit of big brother I ever watched was in 2002. And I was on holiday in Spain, by that point it was down to around 4 so she must have just gone. I remember Jade, Kate and Jonny the fireman but not Adele.
Let's play the whoooooo game
