      I feel sorry for Ms Alker. She's entitled to earn a living, and to be the subject of such unappreciative opinions must be dispiriting (should she be aware of them) . She is, however, completely unsuited to any playlist programme on Radio Three. They need to deploy her elsewhere... But there again, R3 management know we hate the imposition of these styles of presentation/incompetencey and they don't care (the Milwall chant). We are the past, they only care about the future.....

      Does Martin Handley have to present the programme from Salford? Is that a long journey for him. Would he rather not be located in the NW on Saturday afternoon/evening. Did he voluntarily give up the Saturday slot. (I always assumed Ms Alker appeared when Handley was, for whatever reason, taking a break - but what do I know? - well actually what I know is that I'll need to have another standby for early morning on Alker days).
      So sad. E.Alker is either too indistinct to hear, or too inane to merit listening to.

            It is. I was just applying a bit of local polish.

                Bay-coop makes it sound like an enclosure one might keep chickens in

                  I think Martin announced a few weeks ago he was not going to Salford anymore. So I presume the change ticks a few BBC boxes ..... young presenter - tick - from Salford/Bay-Cup - tick - ......... but far from popular here or on Facebook ......

                      Not at our expense, thank you. There are thousands of other ways to earn a living.

                      There'll be no future for Radio 3 if they carry on like this.

                        In the trailer for her new late night show her voice sounds quite different. Perhaps her Breakfast voice reveals she is out of her musical comfort zone. To her as well.

                          Maybe just an owl rather than a lark!

                            Yes, Alker mornings are as much a no-go area as anything involving Service or Molleson.
                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                Recently Alker posted:

                                Strings playing popping candy and whurly tubes, that’s how we’re rolling tonight at

                                Yer, right! I've not yet decided how we roll in this house.
