What sort of radio programme would appeal to you in the morning?

If you're asking meOriginally posted by bb View Post
something more in line with Morning on 3. Maybe av. 4-6 pieces per hour. No tweets &c. The news on the hour (I could just about take it on the half hour - but definitely not every 15 minutes; and no newspaper headlines). Trails only just before the news (if hourly), but best if just given by the announcer. I would personally prefer each programme to be hand-crafted with no clashes, like Eric Coates, Scott Joplin, John Williams tossed in between Bach, Monteverdi &c. No single movements. Short, intelligent introductions to the music.
It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

The heart is obviously in the wrong place - I would love to know what the curatorial criteria are.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Mr McKinney this morning said that 'unless you've been living on the moon' you would know that the Oscars are tonight. This awful cliche suggests in one short phrase: (a) an assumption by said Mr M that the Oscars are meaningful to and valued by everyone (perhaps excluding lunatics
); (b) the cultural values of Radio 2.5; (c) a kind of contempt - no other word comes to mind - for the listener as invdividual; (d) appalling lack of taste.

Well argued, kernel. I had seen something about the Oscars on the news website, but as neither the event nor the films were of any interest I pitched my tent on the moonOriginally posted by kernelbogey View PostMr McKinney this morning said that 'unless you've been living on the moon' you would know that the Oscars are tonight.

Sounds like TTN to me. And I agree.Comment

"The Oscars are tonight" doesn't make sense anyway.
If the moon really is celebrity-free I'd love it there.I have a medical condition- I am fool intolerant.Comment

Even l would have to admit that the morning after Breakfast was spoilt by massive over emphasis on this IMVVHO Non Event......Originally posted by James Wonnacott View PostComment

What about SM-P on In Tune tonight? I ask because, as with Breakfast, I do not listen to the programme.Originally posted by Old Grumpy View PostSM-P on In Tune tonight - what is going on?Comment

Well, for those of us who do (listen to both) it was quite a nice surprise - that's all really. I presume SK was indisposed.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment
