Im back to R2 for Vernon Kay, Ive really got to like his show and I like Sarah Cox, if they got rid of Scott Miles Id be a happy bunny. Im sure hes a lovely person but hes so flipping annoying with his " love you" to everyone #Post#: 297821-------------------------------------------------- Re: Young listeners give old hits a whole lotta love By: Cor Blimey Date: October 29, 2023, 3:50 am --------------------------------------------------------- Can't be doing with adverts. #Post#: 297853-------------------------------------------------- Re: Young listeners give old hits a whole lotta love By: ukcarper Date: October 29, 2023, 5:35 am --------------------------------------------------------- I’ve pretty much stopped listening to Radio 2 because of their change in presenters, I now listen mainly to Greatest hits Radio particularly for Ken Bruce, Magic Soul and various talk stations, adverts area pain but not enough to make me return to Radio 2. #Post#: 297891-------------------------------------------------- Re: Young listeners give old hits a whole lotta love By: pollypenny Date: October 29, 2023, 7:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- We switched to Radio Wales when Ken Bruce left. Wynne Evans, the opera singer, is a funny guy and plays good music, as well as having little chats and competitions. *****************************************************
