    Gaspode got a reaction from Hinzy9 in Local Radio being destroyed - no more Sportscene.   
    Crazy thing is that a lot of their ‘target’ audience don’t listen to radio and don’t watch TV. My lad is 22 - he streams any content he wants via Spotify or Netflix/Amazon Prime - he’s simply not interested in anything the BBC produces yet they insist that they want to produce more content for his generation and sod the older folk who rely on local radio and TV…..

    No. I don't think that my wife would have approved. She (the young lady) sat on her (the young lady's) boyfriend's knee instead.

    Just gone for 'celebs' as the list would be way too long if I included politicians:
    Ryland, Michael McIntyre, Jamie O'Hara, Tik Tok Lingard, Micah Richards, Alex Scott, Alex Jones, Huw Edwards, Fiona Bruce, Noel Edmonds, Ant & Dec, Prince Harry & Meghan, Andy Twigge, Sally Pepper and Ed Dawes - can't stand any of them and they all deserve the worst the jungle can throw at them - with any luck they could simply leave them all there at the end of the series and make the world a better place....

    The BBC News will almost certainly send a team of news presenters (i.e. auto-cue readers) out there as well - along with their own bunch of make-up artists, cameramen, sound engineers, lighting engineers, directors, gophers, etc.....
    For many, many years, BBC Radio Derby would send their own reporter to the tennis at Wimbledon - I suspect the other local radio stations did similar - all to report via the radio on something with virtually no local connection and to do something that could have quite easily been covered by one reporter for the whole country.....East Midlands Today also send reporters to natioanl events  when there is no justification (other than as part of the 'send the staff on a jolly' approach to wasting money....)
    It's frustrating to see them slash whole services when they plead poverty rather than try to work more efficiently - almost as if they're doing it to make a point rather than geunuuinly trying to save money....

    Thing about Ed is that he loves DCFC, has huge knowledge and is a real fan. He deserves respect for that. The other thing is … he commentates like a spoilt, entitled, know it all petulant child. Toys are thrown, pouting is visible even though coverage is audio only. Hugely frustrating but hey … he’s a Ram

    Nope- despite my best efforts he doesn’t have any interest in sport - he follows the Rams results purely so he knows whether I’ll be in a good mood or otherwise ?

    No, the BBC’s news department job isn’t to hold the government to account (I think that’s what your suggesting). They are not a regulatory body. Their job is to impartially report the news - good, bad or indifferent, regardless of the political persuasion of the party they are reporting on.

    Sky should just announce that they'd like to talk to Red Bull but Horner is being a mardy t*** so they can't - I'm quite hopeful that their racing agreeement has a clause stating they must do media duties in which case the FIA can give them more sanctions....
