Sean: a Celebration

[antongould]

Petroc has announced it previously and also mentioned it a couple of times last week. He moves to the In Tune programme from April and Tom McKinney takes over the weekday R3 Breakfast

thank you

Strange, I'm pretty sure Petroc was announced to take over In Tune from Humphrey Carpenter c. 2002, and that never happened (or didn't last long).

Are we sure the Squire is going to do it this time …????? … he seems very comfortable broadcasting from his bed in Cornwall and I haven’t heard him mention the planned move ……

Or may be my wireless has retuned itself to Radio 2.

No, Radio 3 has retuned itself to Radio 2. alternating with Classic FM. The presenters have been told to be shouty on Friday Night Is Music Night beause they interact with the audience. Sarah Walker was too.

And can someone explain the presence of a shouty PT on Friday evenings? I thought every night (except Sunday) is music night. Or may be my wireless has retuned itself to Radio 2.

welcome Cynthia (?) from Berkshire . There is an interminable thread FNIMN if you can face it. Don’t mention Spitfires.

Fallout from Sam Jackson's April Fool/R3 refresh exercise last year...

What happened to Andrew Green. I was a regular listener to the breakfast programme when he presented but had to stop when PT arrived on the scene. Even worse that Rafferty but might ditch Radio 4 first thing is the programme has improved.

To lose one In Tune presenter may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness.

Or something. Humphrey's Listener's Choice was dropped and succeeded by Brian Kay's Three for All, with the succession of presenters ending with Chi Chi Nwanoku's Radio 3 Requests. And much as they went, Sean went too. CCN probably had better things to go on to but Humphrey moved to R4 and Brian, probably, also did R2?

Thanks I see . It’s April then . The new financial year. And Breakfast moving to Salford - a big relocation and not everyone will wish to go. Having done the South West to North West epic voyage a few times I don’t blame PT for not giving it a try . Just getting to Salford from Manchester airport is a nightmare.

Interesting history, thanks FF.

P.S. I'm hoping Martin Handley will become a/the regular In Tuner.

No sign of Squire T, who's Breakfasting till March 14th, at least. Squatter's rights?

When Sean announced he was leaving (being “leaved”) a simultaneous BBC press release said Petroc would be taking over. Sean left the week before Xmas.

It’s now late Feb and no sign of PT ..

What is going on ?

You're right.
In Tune had Sarah Walker last week, Martin Handley this week, then Katy D back for a bit, Sarah Walker 7-9th March, then Ian Skelly 10-14 March (if the pictures are to be believed). 15th March onwards... my money's on Basil Brush.
