BBC Radio Stoke presenter Paula White was taken off air during her final lunchtime broadcast before she moves to a weekend slot.
She was incoherent through alcohol (which she denies)was replaced after thirty minutes of rambling and playing wrong material.
The great thing is - she is STILL on the 'listen again' section until Friday - go for it - http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ program mes/p01 817jp.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.She is one of those people who adopts a 'radio' voice that is utterly unlike the way anyone speaks, ever. It's all swooping up and down the vocal scale in a style that Terry Wogan would blush at!
Sadly, a lot of BBC stations think individuals like this produce 'local colour' - which is the sort of snooty London-based patronising that gives local radio a bad name.
We have had a selection of thick-as-a-brick locally born presenters who appeal to a narrow pensioner listener demographic, and they keep finding them!
No sure what Paula's future on the station will be now - we wait with bated breath, but since this has made the nationals, I can't imagine the local bosses will be too impressed.

she was due for the chop 2 years ago following a spending review - but appeared to have gathered a degree of popular support for a reprieve...
