Zoe Ball, Sarah Cox and Steve Wright are crap.

In the past 3 years or so, R2 really has gone down the pan. Half it's playlists can be heard on R1, so why are they playing it on R2?. I don't hear Prokofiev on R2, because it's on R3. I don't hear plays on R2, because they're on R4. Likewise sport, because that's on 5Live, so why is R2 constantly playing auto tuned, nasaly RnB shit (usually a woman warbling that "she's over you"), that's already covered, elsewhere. They're trying for a late teen to mid 20s audience, but that demographic don't listen to R2

Then there's the presenters
Feltz. GOBSHITE, who thinks dropping big words into her spiel, makes her sound intellectual. It doesn't.

Ball. Gushes over everybody, with constant "darling, beautiful, gorgeous, love that girl". Then there's her overly camp side kick. Just read the traffic, FFS.

Bruce. Legend. Give him a knighthood.

Vine. Stupid, middle class, bedwetting mummy's boy, that's a champagne socialist.

Wright. Please stop, now. Like the daft uncle at a family party, everybody thinks he's a berk. Same act he was doing 30 odd years ago. Then there's that dullard who witters on about homeopathy. Fuck off.

Cox. The scatty Northern bird act is wearing thin.

Whiley. GOBSHITE, who "handpicks her playlist" and "curates her shows". Plus, anyone who starts sentences with the word "Hey", and is in their 50's, needs to be shot.

Nelson. I don't like his taste in music, so I don't listen

I don't listen at weekends

Bar Ken Bruce, its not fit for purpose.
 
i cannot believe Steve Wright still has a radio show, he is cringeworthy to the max and is painfully shit.

Can't argue with any of that. Like Ken Bruce, and loved Johnny Walker.

It's probably the same with so many presenters at the BBC, just because they have been doing it for years they are assumed to still be doing a good job, no accountability to ratings or public feeling. They're in jobs for life on massive wages.
 
Trevor Nelson, Lisa Tarbuck, Craig Charles and Ken Bruce are well worth a listen.


The rest do my head in but especially Zoe Ball and her mumsy attitude. It should be aimed at drivers in the morning not mum's doing a school run.

When Mayo left I did listen for a few days but soon found Cox really really annoying.
