Re: Scott Mills to replace Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2.
In times-past [the 1970s/early-80s] I listened to Radio1 [Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show, John Peel's 10PM weekdays slot, Annie Nightingale on sunday evenings helped me through my crazy A-level and Uni revision-periods].
I never transitioned to Radio2; my only real exposure to it being when I woke up to the mucilaginous audio-horror of Terry Wogan when I'd fallen asleepm to John Peel and then the "shared" R1/R2 channel had reverted to Radio2.
To this day I really don't understand why the BBC's most-listened-to station - Radio1 - was the last to get its own FM channel. To me that smacks of either managerial incompetence or some sort of embedded sense of anti-populism.
These days I don't really listen to 'radio stations', instead choosing to build my own playlists [kinda like people did in times-past with cassette mixtapes] from Spotify and YouTube - meaning I can get a good six hours of music without any interruption from "Deejays".
