Zoe Ball

[LuS1fer]

Though I cannot see me wanting to listen to her new Breakfast Show, at all.... I might try 5 minutes.

However, I am already sick of her voice as Radio 2 seem to trail some dull inane trailer of her talking b*ll*cks every 5 minutes and pump her up into someone "famous" with Tracks of my Years with some astonishingly banal choices.

Looks like she is having a daily quiz with the prize being coming to the studio on Friday. I hope it's better than her weekend movie quiz which is appalling.

Yes don’t think I will be listening to Zoe ,but will give absolute radio a go ,did like C O before he left .

[AdeTuono]

No doubt she'll be regaling us all with tales of her offspring, as per.

When I say 'us', I won't listening. One step up from Feltz. And that''s nothing to boast about...

More talentless dross, should have given her the evening show - a cure for insomnia.

I don't mind her.

I enjoyed when she stood in for Ken Bruce.

Who would you have?

They're all terrible, to be honest, apart from Ken Bruce.
I remember when I reached "that age" and Radio 1 became Radio 2 but this latest generation are utter dullards, talking tripe.
It all went wrong when Jeremy Vine appeared....

It seems to me that DJs used to have distinctive voices - Blackburn, DLT, Johnny Walker, Wogan, bloody hell, even Simon Bates but I can't help thinking any silly sod could do what Zoe Ball does.

1.2 million quid! Wouldn't give her £50 k a year.

Perfect for Radio 2 then.

Now I quite like Ore Obuda - he was on through Christmas. I like his gentle manner, reckon he'd have done ok in the mornings. Also caught some of Fern Cotton's show - stop talking about your fking kids love, no-one gives a st!

[Brads67]

BBC 6 music is your friend.

[Pothole]

No. Just no.

Whenever I catch him I find him to be sharp, witty and intelligent (unlike Steve Wright). I just don’t like the pop music he plays.

R2 is handy for traffic reports & I would have to change channel twice on way to work + no ads and it’ makes it a winner but it’s going to be very hard in next few weeks, hopefully she might just shut up & play records but that might be too much to hope for!

I have found myself listening to R4 a lot more but that makes my day start bad because all the talk is about the latest cock up by the government!

You do realise on your car radio you can press TPS which jumps to any traffic report - you can touch the button or steering wheel buttons to dismiss it and it jumps back to the station you were on.

Problem solved.
