I see Liz Kershaw is full of compassion for those fleeing from oppression & murder. Deffo worse than laverneor Keaveney now

 

[spitfire]

Yeah, she's not nice is she? I had no idea until last night.

 

[editor]

She's getting a rightful kicking on Twitter

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Wow. What a nasty cunt.

Maryanne hobbs plays sunday afternoon music too much. Needs moar energy and less "exquisiteness".

And to stop talking.

 

[danski]

Yeah, I switch it off when mystic meg comes on. So dreary.

Had the misfortune to turn on the radio and hear that fucking unfunny twat Shaun Keavey doing his Radio 1 style talk and keep fading in the music between words while delivering another infantile joke. Get the cunt off the radio!

at the risk of being banned I love Keaveny (gets coat)

tuned into Cerys last Sunday and had a nice surprise: She did a little (15 min?) special on the label I'm on (Lost Map). The label boss chose 3 of his favourite Lost Map moments, and one of them was my band. He said very nice words about us!

He'd be great on Radio 2, or maybe some hospital radio. But he's a failed unfunny Smashy and Nicey twat.

 

[klang]

been a good week on 6 for me - also Gideon Coe did a special on Mega Dodo, a label I produced albums and 7s for. He played a couple of my tracks. Always great to hear my efforts on air

 

[Spod]

I hated the Smashie and Nicey gang as well. But Keaveny is a world apart from that lot IMO. But if you dont like your broadcasters doing funny voices then I understand. I personally prefer listening to Keaveny than dreary worthy musos like Lamcq even though music is my thing.

I want MUSIC not some twat droning on with his attempt at humour while fading cheesy background music in and out between sentences.

 

[butchersapron]

I have a music free-weekday-afternoon mon-friday now (at work) because of Keaveny and these changes.

It's pretty much music free if i actually do listen to Keaveny to be fair.

Put a mix or an album or even your own playlist on then. Mainstream radio is not for you!

 

[butchersapron]

BBC6 says it's a music station. Keveany barely plays any - it's nothing to with it being a mainstream station. Even the other big talkers play music for most of their programs and demonstrate a genuine interest in it.

 

[skyscraper101]

Bring back George Lamb. All is forgiven.

I want to hear new music. I want to hear intelligent insights into new music. I don't want a third rate pub comedian talking shit and playing inane sound effects.

 

[Orang Utan]

Rinse fm has nearly all new music with no or minimal chat. No rock music though.

Try "Beats 1". You'll love it I'm sure.

 

[skyscraper101]

I guess a halfway solution would be to listen on demand to earlier shows and use the 15 sec skip button as much as you need when the DJs start yacking.

Not ideal, but on the upside you can also skip through tracks you don’t like. I pretty much always listen to Tom Ravenscroft this way.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Quite enjoying the new line-up, though only really listen in short bursts at work. LL was the one I was most concerned about, but tbf it's just (brilliant) music music music with little chat.
