A Lark Ascending Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 We've mentioned the coming changes elsewhere but this in a Jazzwise article is new to me. 'a plan to draw in a broader, younger, listenership' Given Alyn Shipton is in charge I trust it won't do what it sounds like! Hope they don't drop the early jazz at the start of the programme (which can sound as out there to my ears as anything the current revolutionaries throw at us). JRR has always suffered from stopping somewhere around Ornette with the odd more recent thing creeping in in recent years. Just hope we don't get lots of beatbox stuff and singers with fruit in their hair (I especially dislike that fruit on radio). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thank goodness they didn't give it to 'you know who'. 'a plan to draw in a broader, younger, listenership' Only a matter of time before Jedward gets on the show I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Thank goodness they didn't give it to 'you know who'. Davina McCall? David Mellor? Michael Portillo? Actually, given that she never misses a chance to get in the limelight, I'm predicting Anne Widdecombe within 3 years. Sorry! That photo may well break a house rule somewhere.

sidewinder Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Davina McCall? David Mellor? Michael Portillo? No, a certain 'piano tinkler' beloved of the Cheltenham hordes ! Edited April 28, 2012 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd guessed. But was indulging in a nightmare of other TV celebrity perennials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that photo breaks several house rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well, the playlist for the first show under new management doesn't suggest a revolution: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01h5xyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 doesn't suggest a revolution Starting at 4.30!!!!! I'm ripping up the paving stones as I type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'll be dodging the paving stones as I listen to Mr Shipton who I find a considerably more listenable presenter than the last incumbent - finally I'll be able to enjoy the programme and not cringe at that "hell...lo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'll be dodging the paving stones as I listen to Mr Shipton who I find a considerably more listenable presenter than the last incumbent - finally I'll be able to enjoy the programme and not cringe at that "hell...lo" pretty much with you on the "hell....low" but I'd be more interested in the content of the programme . As long as listeners keep requesting Tommy Dorsey/Bobcats et al then it'll probably not have my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
