said this for a while, 5live is nothing like the right formula. For all the time and money spent on market research and target audience, the Beeb miss by a mile

This is true, sadly. Today's edition of Sports Friday consisted of Eleanor Oldroyd reading out emails from listeners who'd once run into an ex-cricketer outside a petrol station and so forth. Serious Alan Partridge material. Fighting Talk has also gone to complete shit since they let that airhead Georgie Thompson present and started inviting beige olympic fuckers like Kelly Sotherton on to crack the jokes.

I'm with you but the gamble for them would be how many others would switch off if they actually became serious?
A few years ago it was worth listening to on the drive home but arseholes like Durham who randomly have a go at people who have made it calling them bottlers, wastes of talent or other such derogatory shite is like watching Eastenders. I switch off and play my fav music very loudly down the M60 and get home feeling much better.
