We normally force the kids to take in The Today Programme over breakfast,
but the youngest has taken to switching it over to the station formerly known as Xfm. This will inevitably lead to Radio 6 as a compromise, as no one needs to hear Chris Moyles.
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Mon 1 Feb 2016, 10:15, Reply)

I like 6 music.
Although Radcliffe and Maconie, when they're both there are a bit too 'local radio' for my liking.

Isn't the new xfm station where presenters from the Loaded generation go to die?
( Slippery Mick ‏, Mon 1 Feb 2016, 10:25, Reply)

Radcliffe & Maconie are OK, so long as both are present - they seem to be greater than the sum of their parts.
I had mourned the demise of Xfm, but the bits I actually listen to (weekend evenings) are largely unchanged (ie requests from people in my age bracket), so I just need to ensure I avoid the breakfast (Moyle's), mid-morning (Vernon Kaye) and drive-time (Johnny Vaughan) slots. Ricky Wilson can fuck off, too.
