[quote]The problem with the BBC's attitude is not that it wants to attract younger listeners - it's supposed to serve ALL listeners, so there's nothing wrong in trying to broaden an audience. No, the problem is the BBC thinks Radio 2, like 1, should be age specific (no, they shouldn't, not in terms of audience: that just shows they don't understand public service broadcasting), and, risibly, BBC bosses seem to think they can attract listeners in the late teens to late twenties by replacing someone over 60 with someone over 40. That's really bizarre. It ignores the fact that not many people in that age group like any DJ-driven channel any more, it ignores the fact that those who do mainly listen for the music, and it also ignores the fact that, for many at that age, ANYONE even SLIGHTLY older than they are is dismissed as 'Old' - so the thinking is naive, muddled and desperate. Terry Wogan would have attracted more young listeners than a young broadcaster because Wogan was a great broadcaster - that's what the bosses continue to miss. Young people are not as superficial as the bosses seem to think.

As for Steve Wright: let's face it, when has he sounded like he actually cares about music? I think I was still at school the last time he did. Long ago he froze: froze in his tastes, style, attitude; he froze with that godawful 'posse' around him (THEY are the ones who should have gone IMHO). A very sharp and clever broadcaster in his prime, but he's been spiritually dead for years. I worry for him a bit - does he have ANY life apart from sitting in front of a mic? If Virgin have indeed signed him up then he'll be happy to just keep life on a loop.[/quote]

MCR	I agree, the man was still in his prime and he loved doing it. I hear rumours he is taking the Afternoon show somewhere else in January, Virgin Radio i believe The BBC's loss will be their gain

Henry Kissinger who is another world elite globalist said the elderly are Useless Eaters. The old are ignored by the younger generations unless they can get something out of them.
