I think they try to tailor their output more to their target demographic than to you

Ah yes, the "people who like shit music" demographic
Which in all fairness has consistently been proven to be the most powerful of all the demographics

It's why I listen to Radio 2.
Better presenters, better music.

Radio 2 FTW
With the exception of Jeremy Vine, who is a colossal prick. And Steve Wright, who sings over the top of every fucking song. But the music is usually pretty good.

Some of the afternoon plays are good. I also enjoy John Humphries having a go at politicians, he does it better than Paxman.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 10:39, Reply)

i saw someone reading out their new radio play at soho theatre on monday
they were doing a sort of pisstake of different music styles, doing heavy metal and rock'n'roll and bon jovi ballads on an electic ukelele with silly lyrics. quite good, i hope they get it on air.
