And they've got rid of Mary Anne Hobbs and given her slot to Laverne. It's a small improvement. Not much of one but a small one.
Lauren Laverne taking over Mary Ann Hobb's morning show.
MAH taking a break then will be back with a new as yet unspecified show.
oh well
Can I be the only one ITT who'll sat they'll miss MAH in the daytime?

Oh.. much as MAH grates with some folk, her music choices are interesting. Easily the best daytime DJ.
I tend to disagree. Thank fuck Deftones and Tool won't be aired again unless there's a special 90s teenage boy angst theme show one day.

Yes though you have to say it in the style of MAH
"You've been locked in with me, Mary Ann Hobbs, though all locks can be opened by the key-codes of opportunity allowing the gates of expression to stand wide open. This is eleven minutes of a remix I heard from a passing car."

Go stick your head in a pig
Next step should be to replace Craig Charles with Deb Grant and Huw Stevens with... absolutely anyone else, seriously the office cleaner would be a better DJ than him.

I don't like all of her choices.. but at least they stand out a bit. Tbh I only really dip into 6 music during the day. It's as much about the playlist as the DJs. I think the station would be loads better if it didn't repeat the same songs 4 times a day & have the same oldies on too frequent rotation.
Absolutely. I can't listen to either of them. Or that gormless idiot they get on to replace Craig Charles sometimes.
There has to be better talent out there.
It's also the constant news and weather updates. and the fucking stings advertising upcoming specials.
have you heard that BBC 6 Music is available on smart speakers now?

I heard Huey Morgan doing the scripted "ask your smart speaker to play 6Music"; he then followed it up with "just don't discuss your bank details or political affiliations in front of it"

Huey is great at skewering the demands the BBC puts on presenters. His attitude towards the playlist is great.I heard Huey Morgan doing the scripted "ask your smart speaker to play 6Music"; he then followed it up with "just don't discuss your bank details or political affiliations in front of it"

I had become increasing intolerant of MAH and am glad to see the back of her. Even her leaving missive was total cringe.

take me to the feeling
Really pleased at the update; I never had much time for Nick Grimshaw before this, but he's been a consistently excellent breakfast show host and has really grown on me. I also like Lauren Laverne, and while I respect MAH her breathy earnestness does my head in.

Oh that’s disappointing. Not keen on her patter but she has good taste and great guests on. I get the impression Laverne is a landfill indie band DJ

I think Laverne's taste is mixed and not bad TBF. She's just a bit chirpy and maybe a bit.. mumsy... for me.
