The Controller of Radio 2 is a lady called Helen Thomas who hails from sunny Hull (ex Wolfreton school). She is the culprit responsible for the stations many changes over the last 3 years. https://www.radioacademy.org/truste... of,Content Commissioning, and Network Editor.
I think Radio 2 is just doing what it’s always done - reinventing itself for listeners now too old for Radio 1. My generation grew up with Scott Mills, Sara Cox, Jo Whiley, Zoe Ball etc etc on the radio, as the previous one did with Steve Wright and Gary Davies etc. Im too old for Radio 1 now but listen to Radio 2 more than ever. Problem is, where do the people who are now too old for Radio 2 go?
Disgusting suggestion, delicate flower types may take that literally. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Radio two is ****e now, try virgin in a morning (Chris Evans) or absolute radio, lots of different decades, prefer 80's myself .
I quiet like Tarbuck on a Satdee but if I accidently catch a few seconds of Rylan prior, it ruins the evening.
I switched from RH to R2 when Burnsy left, but I think I’m going to have to switch again. Zoe Ball’s okay, Vernon Kay is a bit annoying, Scott Mills is really annoying and Sara Cox is the only one I really enjoy listening to.
I just find her a bit bland, though when she’s got a mate on air with her (like Gabby Roslin), she can be rather irritating.
