Can't stand Steve Wright either - particularly his Friday afternoon slot "serious jockin", or his Sunday morning "love songs" or in fact anything he does.
Chris Evans is another who really annoys the hell out of me. But this Trevor Nelson bloke - bloody hell he's abysmal.
The only ones I do like and can listen to are Ken Bruce, Simon Mayo, Tony Blackburn, Gambacini sometimes, and old evergreen Bob Harri.
The rest are shocking.

I have actually started to listen to R4 now. Radio 1 is a joke, R2 is getting as bad, just appalling. They were discussing whether or not chickens fart the other day. FFS it's the BBC.

I've actually written and complained to the Beeb about Trevor Nelson and his choice of "music" I've just had an automated reply that my message has been read and will be passed to the Radio 2 controllers tonight (where it will most likely be put straight into the bin). So we can expect to see an immediate and radical change back to the type of music that we all like - or perhaps not eh !

Steve Wright needs to pack it in asap, I can live with Chris Evans temporarily in the morning for the modest drive to work I just feel sorry for Mayo, apparently he's not best pleased.

Listen to about 4 hours max, end of the breakfast show and the start of Lauren Laverne's show normally. Got other stuff to do so never get the repetitive feel tbh and nothing can be as repetitive as other radio stations, being forced to listen to Signal 1 at work has chipped away at my life I'm fairly sure of it, fucking garbage.

I tried listening to Trevor Nelson again this morning and even my wife said turn it off - it was just absolute rubbish. She switched Steve Wright on and lasted around 20 minutes before turning him off. We haven't listened since then.
I don't know what the hell has happened, or who has made the decision to change the style of music and presentation but it is complete and utter sh*t !
Another complaint will be winging it's way to the Beeb tonight !

in my days as a driver I used to tune in from 05;00 am sarah kennedy played some nice gentle tunes to ease you into the day[was allways pissed tho]then you had the legendary terry wogan loved everything he did on that show from his gentle humour music we grew up with in the 70's +80's his janet & john tales laced with innuendo had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. then you had ken bruce who again is fantastic. sadly sir terry wogan retired[and died not long after rip] his replacement chris evans is awful he prances around like a 13 year old on his first date and plays music that he thinks will impress people im afraid I reach for the off switch I don't like having my ears assaulted so early in the morning in fact never heavy metal shite. sometimes we have sarah cox standing in and its like a breath of fresh air. but these days I only tune into ken bruce then simon mayo for the first hour[it goes shit after 6]

Nothing will change though will it because they're going down this 'more female voices route '. Someone has got some questions to answer.

To be honest I can just about tolerate listening to Jo Wiley (I tend to blank her out when she's on) but it's the change in music to this more dance orientated stuff that is really annoying me. If I wanted to listen to that (which I definitely don't) I would find a statio that played it instead of it being forced on me on Radio 2. As you say nothing will change because it appears that the "powers that be" have decided this is the "new era" of Radio 2 to presumably attract more younger listeners. Don't know which other station I'll change to at the moment.

Another complaint will be winging it's way to the Beeb tonight ! Very similar views, nelson is an ok presenter but no ken Bruce but when he does Ken's show i now only tune in to Pop Master (part, even a Stoke ST on today and won thankfully against a boyband soul boy) and he ruins that. He should stick to he soul show which i avoid not ruin 9:30 to 12 with playing his own list of his disco/soul and be told play the variation normally played when Ken's on. Steve Wright again so far up his own backside makes Chris Evans seem ok, thankfully off this week as i like Sara Cox presentation style very down to earth takes no shit. I like Jo Wiley when she has her own show and Mayo always great but together it is chalk and cheese. The playlist on the station during daytime is changing alot to much soul/disco and modern day Bruno Mars being played trying to appeal to wider audience but losing its existing one.

Is this some other radio two people are talking about.
The music played on it is mostly twentieth century.
It was always a poor choice for music.

6music all the way, unless there's a test match on then I'll switch to TMS. True 6 music is ok for short bursts just some presenters talk too much thinking their gods, no John Peels bless his soul a great introduction to other music in my youth.

I was a massive fan of R2 for many years, old school smooth presenters who would make everything feel OK with the world like Desmond Carrington, he was still broadcasting aged 90. The Simon Mayo / Jo Why-me? mash-up is like someones daughter being forced to go to a youth club with her dad. You can hear the pain in both of their voices

Early finish for a change today. What on earth is this crap coming out of radio 2. Wright should be ashamed of himself. The beeb have successfully buggered up Simon Mayo's show they ought to have a crack at getting this idiot off the air.

Gave up with R2 a few years ago when Chris Evans started to allow all his mega rich mates to bid £50,000 for a fried egg sandwich served half way up Everest or £75,000 for a trip to a Monaco supermarket in a Bugatti.
I know it’s all for charity but it’s like some private school bash while the rest of us paupers stand with faces pressed up against the window.
Be refreshing to hear Norman from Neck End winning something with his £30 bid. Ain’t gonna happen though cus Norman isn’t a multi millionaire.

Just tuned in for a quick listen to Simon Mayo's programme. What on earth is going on. This Whiley woman has to go along with whoever picks the noise. Dreadful. I'm assuming that Mayo is on holiday, christ she's awful, all in the name of political correctness.
