Roger Day had a fantastic evening slot on BBC radio and they fucked that up,by moving the poor man on a quiet slot on weekends.
BBC always do what they think is good not what the listeners and tax payers want.
BBC always messed OGWT by changing it's name.

It's that standard broadcasting strategy, 'selling ice cream in winter'. Stick a show that many people still like in a really bad slot, then note the audience fall, and then decommission it. That's what they did with TOTP, instead of doing that really tiresome thing of working harder to improve the show, and that's what they're doing now with SOTS.

Yet their younger DJs are losing listeners. I have heard commercial radio in years but with YouTube etc I can listen to the songs I want, if I have got through money then I look at gigs for a 60s or 70s band.
So far I have only seen 80s bands live this year and boy they are fantastic to see.
I still want to see John Mayall live but missed every opportunity.
Heard that Stand Up and Rock with Bev Beathen with the dude from Rocking Berries us a treat, I don't need to hear anymore gags about insurance from Jasper Carrott again but he is great on guitar.
