All quality presenters that have moved up.I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for booting Mark and Lard off the morning show. I was on holiday in Kos when I found out about that #StillFuming
Same goes for them dropping Sean Keveney from 6 Music #StillFuming
Riley and Radcliffe split and found separate shows on 6. If you want the Mark and Lard mixture then you could do worse than tuning into Radcliffe and Maconi on 6 on Saturday mornings. TBH I thought the radio 1 version was a bit formulaic, dependant on a variety of tedious catchphrases and they still had to play the pre ordained crap playlist.
Keveney was excellent but all credit to him for developing his career through other mediums. Used to be radio 1 DJs hanging onto their shows like grim death as we watched them move through the stations at increasingly unfashionable times of day until eventually dying in their studios surrounded by flowers and the stench of petuni oil.
John Peel was shocked to find that all his radio one colleagues didn't actually like music!
Radio 6 has a diverse variety of DJs, and they all actually enjoy music. Current faves are Iggy, Afrodeutch, Cerys Matthews, Ravenscroft, Tom Robinson and Marie Ann Hobbs. Still hearing stuff I've never heard before!
