Gave up R2 Sunday mornings when Michael Parkinson left. Yep, can do without that SLS marlarky! Am on my own too and I think I’ve finally grown out of all that stuff!
I avoid Steve Wright, Chris Evans, Zoe Ball, Mark Radcliffe, Sarah Cox, Jeremy Vine, and all the other ex-Radio One, etc., people.
My listening suggestions:
Boom Radio DAB+ (massive and interesting pop playlist and presenters that talk to you like you are an adult)
Serenade Radio (Online only - old style Radio 2/Light programming and very professional. Johnny Beerling (ex-Radio One controller) presents the Big Band Show)
Radio Caroline 648 (Great for our vintage sets, of course)
Would welcome suggestions of any online gems that anyone has found.
Radio 2 is for 30-55 year olds these days! The BBC don’t wish to provide ‘popular’ output for oldies or whose tastes have veered away from current and four decades of pop.
