What is going on?

First they replace Radcliffe and Maconie with Jo Wylie.

Then they start The Organist Entertains and Listen to the Band at 21:30.

Now they have bloody Dave Pearce doing a dance music program. DANCE MUSIC! Isn't there enough of that crap on Radio 1?


Apparently, if I was 14 I'd be fine, because I could listen to Radio 1.

If I was 80 (no offence to brass band and organ fans, my dad was one, but he was born in 1924) I could happily listen to Black Dyke or the Blackpool Tower Wurlitzer.

However, I'm neither 14 nor 80. I was born in the early 50s, where is my radio station?

Sorry, you should have switched to Radio 4 by now.
For the Archers, maybe, but for music? smile

... Let's face it, anyone who gets off on 60s music is today in their 60-70s, if not more...
Not quite 60... smile and we could have a discussion about just how much "new" music there has been since about 1971...

I don't want it to be all oldies, I'd just like a Radio 1.5 I suppose. Something for the generations that are too old for Radio 1 and too young for Vera Lynn.
