Are Radio 2 Listeners Inherently More Prudish That Radio 1 Listeners?

[black_cat51]

i have heard the same (lily allen) song on radio 1 and radio 2 over the last week. When it was on BBC 2 it was censored, but on radio 1 it wasn't. Why would that be?

[decmangan]

Different producers?

[black_cat51]

maybe. i don't understand what was so bad about the word they cut anyway. Perhaps that's because i listen to more radio 1 though :)

[Zacs-Master]

More chance of younger children listening to radio 2 due to their parents listening maybe?

[decmangan]

So its all a question of what you are used to?

[black_cat51]

i don't really know dec, i just found it odd that if the BBC were going to find a word so offensive they have to cut it out, why isn't it the same for every station the BBC outputs?

[decmangan]

From what I hear every day young people are not protected from bad language by anyone!

[decmangan]

Cat, some progs are produced for the beeb by external agencies!

[black_cat51]

not these two (i wouldn't have thought) radio 1 breakfast show and simon mayo drivetime

[Calibax]

Maybe time of day? Censored before the watershed but not after?

[decmangan]

Listen to the end of TW's show, it is a fat Buddha production for the BBC!

[black_cat51]

who is TW?

[douglas9401]

Maybe what's left after the edit is more than enough Lily Allen, innit.

[decmangan]

Terry Wogan

[black_cat51]

he's still on??

[decmangan]

Yes, on Sunday morning. He does an hour and then goes and has a lie down!

[decmangan]

By the way he does not start till late!

[black_cat51]

ok. I am a recent convert to radio 2. I always used to listen to simon mayo on 5 live, and really liked his show, and now i am at work a bit later, i listen on the way home

[black_cat51]

heard it again - full, uncut on R1!

[grasscarp]

Wasnt like this years ago. A banned record was banned from whole of BBC broadcasting or not at all. Bet not many hear have heard of Flat Foot Floozy with the Floy Floy - which was banned because it was about a hooker with a nasty disease!

[black_cat51]

i am just so puzzled about this becasue it's not even a swear word cut out
