The mayo/ wiley collaboration was horrendous. Both excellent djs on there own and happy to listen to either but that pairing was horrible to listen to.

That's my point about R2.
BBC needs another station to move those old DJs and listeners too.
Just as the young 1s move from 1 to 2 when they get to old for 1.
I'm guessing a few on here are a bit older and probably grew up with all those radio legends on R1 as well.
I didn't really like many of the 'golden age' djs.
It's only last few years I can really enjoy R2 with Mills and vern
Most off these djs are on greatest hits now are they not.
I still can't listen to Ken Bruce.
Just different generations have different tastes doesn't make them bad djs.
Got to admit that I always found Mills absolutely unbearable. I was not even slightly surprised when he got sacked - I’d always felt he seemed oddly creepy.
Vernon is much better.
I could suffer most of the above, .... but not that Jezzer Whine.
He must have been staring out of the window for the whole of his uni education.

I like Greatest Hits Radio. And they have local versions for news and traffic.
Ken Bruce with popmasters in the morning and Simon Mayo in the late afternoon.

KB & SW had still an ear to the sixties, when pop music was indeed popular; there are rather fewer bands these days of the calibre of many of those who broke the mould in the sixties, like the Who, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, etc.
The younger pretenders play a fair bit less of these bands well known hits, preferring a far higher ratio of newer stuff; there are some talented singers today, but not so much as back in the day; as such, the playlist isn’t quite so appealing; SW was a consummate professional dj, like or loathe him, he made the effort.

They are all crap
I skip stations to avoid anyone talking .
At the moment I listen to Radio X
Planet rock and 6 music but planet rock is the only one with bearable DJ’s
How anyone could listen to Ken Bruce was always beyond me .
Inane to the extreme

Even dumber to let him take Popmaster with him
Teenage Dreams was his favourite song. Grim, legal or not
Radio X has a strangely limited playlist. Same 15-20 nineties hits on repeat.

I liked Peel back in the day and Saville and Harris.
Shame how things turn out.
I have the SLF Peel sessions tape still.

We don't get a digital signal, apparently it would bounce across the channel and upset the French, pathetic excuse!
I have fond memories of listening to 208 Luxembourg in the wee small hours.
