In the main Radio 2 is blessed with considerable broadcasting talent;A worrying end is developing though with the arrival of comedians who simply have no idea on how to present a music show. This trend, one supposes began with Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand. Ross in particular loves music and can be a brilliant broadcaster.
