Radio 2 - who's it aimed at?

[halfmist]

Now I think about it, I quite like Lisa Tarbuck's show in small doses. She always sounds absolutely pissed.

And more importantly, no trace of a whining scouse accent. She sounds like a rather stern Teacher to me.

Just thought about this following the Ken Bruce thread.

Who actually listens to BBC radio? I'm late 40's, and consider myself of fair intelligence. I'm way too old for radio 1 and I'm either too young or seemingly too thick to contend with the content on radio 2. Caught 30 minutes on Monday lunchtime talking about nothing but sweat! Is it just a nostalgia channel where they wheel out a host of former radio 1 presenters to make you pine for your younger years.

I just don't get it.

You’re not too old for Radio 1 you big fanny.

Get it on and get your dancing shoes out the shed.

To my horror, I find myself enjoying Tony Blackburn early on a Saturday morning playing music from the 60s. Sign that it's nearly time to check out.

I take it Arnold is dead,

It's aimed at shrill middle aged menopausal Karens with veiny necks who advertise thier made up life on facebook and claim that everything played on that shitshow of a station has them 'dancing round the kitchen' whilst enjoying a glass of something sparkling whilst their kids are on a 'playdate' with George and Annabel.

Fuck off!

Supposedly they lost the sound effect for 20 years but then found it in the BBC archives or some such bollocks they came up with to promote Blackburn's reappearance on something or other a few years back.

Its alright I like it, generally. Bob Harris is great, Trevor Nelson is great, Fearne Cotton is a twat talks too much but the music is alrightl and as an outlier in the thread I think Scott Mills is great. I was kicking about the house today before cricket and had to listen to Vernon Kay while I was doing jobs. Jesus man. Stop talking. He was dreadful

You like Scott Mills? I think he’s fucking terrible, his playlist is for retarded Barbie and Ken fans.

I don’t listen anymore, on with my streamed music library or my fantastic Denon CD player, about 1200 tracks at the moment but growing rapidly thanks to Music Magpie. CD’s from £1.50 to around £3, new player takes out the imperfections and quality sound is reproduced. The new generation CD players are from around £200 - £4K, mine was £300 and it’s brilliant.

Is there not a separate thread for that kind of stuff?
