Re: BBC Trust approves revised DQF plans

Local radio should not have to suffer, as it is well loved by all the listeners, and they would be sad to see any of their favourite presenters shows axed. Local television stations are a definite "no no"

In other words to save the Asian Network, BBC Local Radio has to suffer. Three Counties is a shadow or its former self in daytime output. Breakfast is the only show worth listening to.

Johnnie Walker was awarded a Sony Gold (a "Lifetime Achievement") in 2004 and
was inducted into the Radio Academy 'Hall of Fame' in 2006 so his
contribution has already been recognised.

I couldn't agree more. 'Shouty' Radio & TV is too prevalent.

Johnnie Walker is long overdue a special award, given his long career over many major radio stations and platforms. I believe it was 1966 when he first broadcast on Swinging Radio England .

The listening figures for RRNW's Breakfast show (in whatever format) have plummeted since the removal of D &S. Ditchy & Salty's show was loved by all people of different age, different genders. And you decided to throw the show out of the window.
SHAME ON YOU!!

WHERE'S JOHNNIE WALKER, a TOP PRESENTER, with a fantastic laid back style,not even listed..... .? Why ?
He played a major part in changing the face and network of radio in the uk.
Has a very deep knowledge of modern music, ..... And he is a GREAT PRESENTER. But maybe just shouting out a program like evans does seems to count more.
A strange list of winners, with very sadly. Some key names MISSING

Most of it does. The broadcast centre will be for breakfast and drive only and the rest of the dross will come from Leicester square.

Re: GLOBAL: Capital FM stays top in London

Darjnr2000 — Sat, 12 May 2012 13:46:17 -0000

Independent Local Radio in the United Kingdom has disappeared thanks to de-regulation which allowed 'larger' radio stations to buy smaller ones and replace 'local' programmes with one standard format. It is time for Ofcom to re-appraise local radio and insist that they all get back to being 'truly' local again. The likes of Richard Park destroyed Capital Radio, which was once a 'Great' Local Station and had great presenters e.g. John Sachs, Pete Tong, Graham Dean, Peter Young and Kenny Everett (who was more at home with Capital than BBC Radio.

what a waste of a terrific presenter like Mike Graham who has an intelligent view on many subjects. This held the interest of a wide range of listeners who, like myself would return time and time again to your late night programme. You will have lost a vast listening public who like me are looking for a channel which has more to offer than wall to wall sport. A bad mistake by those in charge.

Of course, the only proof of how successful this advert is will be around 12 months down the line.

Reminds me of the Bassett hound advert for Real Radio. Or is that where they stole the idea from?
