It's often difficult to see the difference between W1A and the actual BBC!Dr Doofenshmirtz said:

Craig Charles has been standing in for Steve Wright again this week-so much better-and some awesome music aswell
Wish he was doing it full time
He is really good...apart from the take over bit where a bored housewife tells us her incredibly uninteresting life story and the music of her memories. Jesus wept.Wish he was doing it full time

Sounds a bit like Head of Values (Music)Complete tosh. I have downloaded the Sounds App on both my phone and iPad, but have drifted back to the radio iPlayer as I could not find anything extra that I really wanted to listen to.
Not into either saving the rainforest or NB, both of which are being plugged to death on the radio at the moment.

"We’ve made a great start with more than 2 million app downloads and brilliant new music mixes and podcasts like Forest 404, That Peter Crouch Podcast and Obsessed With Line of Duty. In just one year, our monthly downloads have gone up by 4m to 24m. "

Oddly enough, I made a comment on that saying "will this remove Steve Wright" or words to that effect - A comment that has not been published...james_tigerwoods said:

Wright must know where the bodies are buried. How else does he get to own the time-slot (and by that I mean all the links, incidental music and features which he and his family collect royalties for over and above his salary).Evercross said:

My day now consists of Chris Evans on Virgin, then over to Simon Mayo on Scala Radio, give it a go, in the afternoon a mix of 5 Live (although snowflake Nihal Arthanayake makes it easy to give it a miss until 4pm) and Radio 4, dependant on a good afternoon drama, but since it's launch I'm finding I'm staying tuned more to Scala Radio, excellent for reducing stress levels.

Much the same here, Popmaster and Sarah Cox is all I listen to these days. Five Live at breakfast and Simon Mayo when I get the chance - very good show.Radio 2's usually on at home most of the day as my wife's "Chief of Domestic Operations".
It's only on for (late) breakfast on Saturdays with the end of Dermot, beginning of Graham - and it usually stays on for the duration of his show, but during the week it's usually only on for Ken and Sarah. As soon as Sarah finishes the Radio 2's switched off.
(Quite often listen to BBC R4 comedy stuff, which is usually 7:30-8:00pm for us.

Why is Steve Wright paid so much? It's not even as if he does the Sunday morning show...
That and he's a massive tool. Urgh. Won't somebody think of the children??
Probably because he applied for a job proved his success over a period of time and negotiated his value. That and he's a massive tool. Urgh. Won't somebody think of the children??
Then refused to take a pay cut.
This whole exercise of reducing top stars salary has simply meant that they combined are higher by £2m....
