Too many TV presenters on Radio 2.

What's happened to Radio 2? It's hard to find a professional radio broadcaster these days for the stunt-casting likes of Fern Britton, Richard Madeley, Alan Carr, Paul O'Grady, Catherine Tate, Grahame Norton... Some of us choose radio OVER television, not just when we can't get to the telly set. If we were fans of these people, we'd be watching them instead of tuning in to R2.
I know the station's had some success with household names in the past, but if this is the future - trying to win over fans of another medium with no regard for existent fans, marginalising radio talents like Johnnie Walker, Alex Lester, Brian Matthew... I'll be gutted!

It's a takeover there too. It was like the Edinburgh Festival on their schedule this weekend.
For my mortgage sins
I used to be up in time to catch the last half hour of Alex Lester and consistently enjoyed every minute of it. Heard things I'd not heard in years or thought to Spotify. His playlist was superb. Not he's relagated to a slot I can neither get up early or stay up late enough for. Pity.
Totally agree

...at least they gave the Drive Time slot
to a proper Radio person.
