Been listening to R5L tonight from 7 and its a very good programme. Proper debate about the weekend fixtures, starting with the main game (us v Chelsea naturally) including a discussion about Yaya which was balanced and sensible from the guests, Neil Lennon, Kevin Kilbane & journalist.
It went on for over half an hour without adverts or WUM and included a live discussion between two geordies discussing the relative merits of their current manager and chairman. It was lively and entertaining.
Eventually they paused for a promo so I quickly switched over to Talkrags only to hear the Friday night host Matt Holland ( Rag & average ex-player) and Dion Dublin (ex rag and carthorse) discussing Wio's new book ( ultra rag) before the nauseating ads.
Point being, surely the BBC should consider putting up a rival channel to Talkrags. They provide a fantastic music only channel in 6music and must see the figures Talkrags are pulling in.
