[Misc] Radio Two really is rubbish

There's a presenter called Ryland on right now talking to his mum on the phone. Unbelievable. Who gives a flying feck? And that woman on the morning show is terrible, as is the one on evening drive time. Are they trying to drive ALL their listeners away? Who exactly do they think their target audience is? I thought you tuned to Radio Two for some middle of the road music, not inane drivel from idiotic presenters. And then they have call-ins from Tracey who wants to say hello to her partner John who is painting the bathroom. Again, who really cares? Say hello to him yourself you silly cow. And Sue and Tony who are in the car on the way to Newcastle to see his mum. Do you really think anyone cares where you're going? It really is pathetic. Rant over.

Someone will say "then don't listen to Radio Two". I don't, but occasionally catch a bit of it and can't believe how truly awful it is.

That's the mediocrity that won one of those Simon Cowell karaoke things, right? Your analysis is undoubtedly correct. Tho to be fair, he's almost certainly more 'talented' than Cheryl 'Poundshop' Versace Cole.

I switched back to Chris Evans this week after three weeks of Zoe Ball’s inane drivel

That’ll be the talentless teeth that is Rylan Clark, ex X Factor and ‘Celebrity’ Big Brother. And you’re surprised the show is shit ? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Unless you're dwelling in tractor land like me this post won't be very helpful for you, but it's Radio Suffolk all day long for me.

6 Music. There's your answer.
Unfortunately on there you have to put up with Radcliffe and Maconnie wittering on about nothing or Mary Anne Hobbs driveling on in a monotone whisper. Always remember, they have to pay to play a song but talk is cheap.

You've probably fallen out of the demographic it's aimed at. It was traditionally aimed at over 35's, but now it seems to be aimed at 20's-30's... not quite as inane and rubbish as BBC1, but not far off.

Radio 4/4xtra for talk - like others have said Radio 6 for music :thumbsup:

It’s demographic is now women only.
Sarah cox is dreadful

You do know you don't have to stay listening to Radio 2 don't you?

Ken Bruce is a must though. But Zoe Ball! Had to stop as she is feckin awful.

10:25, switch over for Pop Master. Once that's over back to my playlists via Alexa or Absolute 80s. Way too much shit on there (R2) aimed at boy band and X Factor lovers. This has been the case for years now.

6 Music can be good or dire.

I need a radio station that plays, soul, Motown, jazz funk, modern Jazz, reggae, lovers rock and ska, both oldies and up to date, then I'll be happy.
I like listening to Trevor Nelson and Craig Charles (R2) and David Rodigan.
Just not enough of this type of music on daytime radio, it's not as if it's Punk or Heavy Metal.
