not one of those fights where I care who wins. But I do wonder whether he's right. Radio playlists waited a good deal longer before deciding Cliff wasn't safe for listeners' ears to hear

I couldn't care either, but am suprised that someone of that age presumes to know what "the kids" want in the first place.

My other gripe with radio programming is the fact that they ignore most forms of rock music in favour of generic boy bands and wimpy balladeers, despite rock continuing to sell well. I appreciate that the likes of One (and only) Direction, or whatever the current flavour of the month is, will always dominate airplay, but a few shows for alternative music surely wouldn't be beyond them?

but then I 've always thought Fox, like nearly all other dj's is a total nob ed.

As for RW new single, its getting airplay because of who he is not because the song is any good.
its a song for little kids that typically would be done by a girl/boy band, its total pap

[mushroom25]

it's said robbie williams makes songs for 35 year old mums to buy.

whereas harry styles takes them to bed.

maybe that's the difference?

I can think of another reason for not playing Robbie's new single.

[vulcan]

BBC 2 makes up for it by playing RW ad nauseum.

[Hopkirk]

Try Absolute Radio.

They wouldn't dream of playing him.
