^^ " The BBC has never made good, proper use of it's archive with a lot of things " ^^
Understatement of the year there, I think! ,,,
-
Good point about the much-missed Zane Lowe. Whilst Annie Mac is a perfectly fine broadcaster, she seems to have minimal interest in records made with "proper instruments", so to speak ,,,,
-
I don't hear any great difference to the 2019 playlists - With the rise of TikTok however, don't see Indie getting much of a look-in ,,
-
Something like that, yep. Am pleased that I will be able to hear Adele in my waking hours!
-
Oh right, I stand corrected! ,,, To clarify: The current 'split' also sounds messy to me.
-
'Anthems' being split over two shows seems a bit messy - If it's going to be kept on at all, why not assign a third presenter to do that hour?

Phil Taggart is in for Jack Saunders next week, 19th-22nd October....
Re - My previous musings, will be interesting to hear what difference this makes - with the same music - in terms of having more of a 'late night' feel ,,,,

I wonder what peoples views are on the time slots that different shows are given? I know it's not such a big deal in these days of 'catch-up' listening, but (for instance), Jack Saunders sounds a touch too 'lively' to me for that late at night - whereas a straight swap with the relatively-relaxed Annie Mac would make more sense .....
-
Meanwhile, the only show I listen to on 1Xtra - David Rodigan - moving earlier (again?) to 1pm on Sundays -- Made a nice prelude to the Chart at 6pm, in the later slot - Will check out Amy Lame on 6Music ...
-
Scott covering for Steve Wright on R2 this week, I see - Such that he needs someone to cover for him on R1 -- Bit of a muddle ..
-
Gonna have to keep a close eye on the listings, to keep track of all this .. Hopefully it all settles down soon enough.

No - a bank holiday special would be quite cool though
Well that be an excellent testing ground (not holding my breath for that either, mind you) ..

Not expecting it to happen - Doesn't change my view that it would be a genius thing to do!
-
The BBC could save a load of dosh, and have a smash-hit breakfast show on their hands, by giving Greg James an R1-R2-6Music Simulcast show.
-
Largely positive news - Bringing Annie Mac forward to 6pm well-deserved.
Still in need of a stronger/ more distinctive personality at mid-morning - but that's been a long-standing problem.
Now That's What YOU call Music ???
