Re: Carolines future, article a good read
As a rock station (‘album’ feels prescriptive despite the efforts made to define it) that plays mix of new and classic material sounds absolutely fine. At times Caroline does this - Marc, particularly on a Weds evening is great. Personality must surely be a big part of music radio too. So whilst maybe if you really like the music you will tolerate the DJ, the fact radio 2 has lost to GHR is clearly down to Ken Bruce and not the music. It won’t be because R2 is playing some chart stuff - they always did. someone claimed that they prefer Caroline Flashback musically to Atlantis, but would choose the latter for the apparently departed weekend presenter. I get that - I can always listen to Peter Quinn, in the same way I’d listen to (Steve) Wrighty long ago. I’ll then move to somewhere else for new music and put up with the less compelling presenter. It’s ridiculous to say that Caroline needs a full presenter clearout - as if to imply they’re all rubbish/depressives and that PM must have had his eye of the ball (looking to impress a new lady friend) when giving Ray Clark a new show. As a volunteer-run community station it will inevitably mix top class with fairly dreadful. On the other hand Caroline remains a big name so probably should be more ruthless. I’m afraid every generation says the current music is sh**e. it isn’t. So-called dance (ie chart pop) is often good so to diss the artists as crap is just ignorant. So Dave The Rave and Mike S I agree with some parts of what you say for what it’s worth (I am apparently a nutter after all) but not all. What we say won’t make any difference to the world but we are here to debate and I know what I’d do.
