"Filling two and a half hours of early evening schedule from Monday to Thursday with a listener-generated request show, Get It On, looks lazy, and distinctly old hat by comparison with the inventive radio to be found online and elsewhere in the digital age. Add in three hours of morning phone-in with Kaye Adams on the same days, and you begin to wonder which decade we are living in.
But then, that all depends on what sort of station Radio Scotland thinks it is. Consigned to the back two pages of the Radio Times under the "where you are" strapline "Radio in your area", it is just another local radio station. And by swapping properly produced, specialist-presented curated programming for listener-created swathes of schedule-filler and cheap chat, Radio Scotland is behaving exactly like local radio stations across the nation below the border."
Someone devised a cunning plan to no longer require the services of Fred MacAulay, whose show was actually okay on the days Susan Calman or Sanjeev Kohli were presenting.
I like Sanjeev but I can't stand brother Hardeep. You should hear him oozing sincerity on Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday when the Blessed Clare Balding is off.
Kottke was big when I was young. I see John Renbourn died last Thursday. He was due to play The Ferry the day before.50 years since his first recording and a website full of plans. Enjoy yourselves.
Just me today?? Mac what were you moderated for? Glen, were you moderated too? I did chuckle earlier when Ms O Hara asked if you were being sarcastic, but that exchange seems to have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be gettin' nae mair of mah money!!!
>8-D
I hear the Beeb have sacked Jeremy.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be back, just like Jonathan.
He'll have time to stand for UKIP.
Delete
DeleteThe difference is Jeremy's funny.
6 requests played out of 7 - it's like having your own show.
DeleteWow! Did you get credited with every one?
DeleteYou feature on C120!
DeleteC120s used tae break too easily. Best wi a C90
Delete6 out of 8 now. I have peaked.
DeleteI still use minidiscs. I think I'm in a minority.
Where is the theme list?
ReplyDeleteDC has it. So does Gaie I think. I'll try and get hold of DC before he goes of to Syria for his Easter break.
DeleteDo you want to blooter Fbook with it?
Nobody has suggested Space yet.
I pointed out we hadn't had Space for a while.
DeleteMac and Glen, thanks for the shouts yesterday (no speaking to you Billy!).
ReplyDeleteAy Ay Doug Rougvie I get, but why Slade, Glen?
Meant to request something for you but couldn't decide what.
DeleteSorry!!
DeleteIt was all fun and games till somebody lost an eye.

Anyone read the piece in yesterday's Herald Arts section about radio Scotland's re-scheduling?
ReplyDeleteyou guys are just so lazy. Here.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cavanagh used to play Bounce In Your Buggy.
DeleteIf you're too tired to look it up:
"Filling two and a half hours of early evening schedule from Monday to Thursday with a listener-generated request show, Get It On, looks lazy, and distinctly old hat by comparison with the inventive radio to be found online and elsewhere in the digital age. Add in three hours of morning phone-in with Kaye Adams on the same days, and you begin to wonder which decade we are living in.

DeleteFred was probably a very good accountant.

Here's one they probably still won't find time for tonight.

DeleteWhats all this "Reasons to Love" all about??
ReplyDeleteYou can tell I'm not much of a listener these days...
Good to see you back Henri!!
ReplyDeleteIs Roxy John right about the Queen song last night? Well spotted if he is.
ReplyDeleteI know its in their top ten along with Call Me, 500 Miles, Hurt etc, but Since You've Been Gone for a Blackmore solo is a joke.
Just me today??
ReplyDeleteMac what were you moderated for?
Glen, were you moderated too? I did chuckle earlier when Ms O Hara asked if you were being sarcastic, but that exchange seems to have disappeared.
Mac's comment seemed harmless to me. Miss O'Hara was saying that old people are narrow minded, so I disagreed.
DeleteOi! You sayin' my sarcasm is harmless?
DeleteMust try harder.
DeleteSarcasm?
We'll hear it ramorra nicht. With any luck...
