all local radio stations are BBC and Strictly is a bbc show so of course they have to keep plugging away same as bbc tv.
gone off strictly, don't know the celebs these days.

That must be a darned nuisance, I agree. Hopefully your local radio station will get bored with it. I love strictly but wouldn't want it all over the radio etc.

So, you like this talk radio station but you don't like what they talk about.

Okaaay...

Yes I like the station - when it isn't obsessed with Strictly!

The OP isn't complaining about Strictly though, is she?

OK before you all pile in on me let me explain!

This is not my kind of programme but I know it is very popular and it is not compulsory so I watch something else, no problem with that, my local newspaper prints several articles about Strictly every day, again I don't have to read them so skip past them. What is really getting to me is the presenters on my local radio station seem obsessed with it. Every other item is about Strictly!

I listen to this station because it is the only local "talk" station rather than playing music all the time. I like to hear local news stories, local weather and traffic news. What I am getting is Strictly, local news story, Strictly, traffic news, Strictly, news bulletin, Strictly!!!!! It is driving me mad

Will now don my tin hat and hide behind the sofa!!

I agree with all you said,a load of D listers and judges who are getting nastier by the year. All that money spent on sets and costumes when we should be looking at the footwork and dancing which now seems secondary to the programme.

No tin hat needed! I too have never watched it, but am pretty bored with the number of times it is the central topic on news programmes or feeds.

I know just what you mean-I agree!
I LOVE dance and music but it does go on. I record the show so that I can whizz through and just watch the dances and listen to the fabulous musicians and singers too.
I can’t bear all this woke nonsense or whatever it is with same sex couples.
Budge up behind the sofa!

It’s difficult when swimming against the tide.

I know exactly what you mean, it happens more and more (not necessarily Strictly) overkill of a programme or situation. No where to hide, it must be really frustrating for you,
