I agree. I can't stand Radio 1, it's so patrionising and I just haven't fallen in love with Chris Evans like others seem to. I'm not quite close enough to London to get the other stations you mention so it's either Radio 2 or Mix 96, which is well.....local radio.
The BBC has decided that al its hip young gunslingers are now of an age where pretending to be a student with blanket enthusiasm for absolutely everything is simply not appropriate for people in their forties with children - that's the presenters, not the listeners!
So they push them onto Radio Quiet - which is why Whiley has displaced Radcliffe and Maconie, who are pushed off their Sony-Award winning show to make room for her pointless drivel.
The BBC are a law unto themselves, which is irnoc since they are funded by public money.
