I'm a recent convert to Boom radio too. I stopped listening to BBC radio years ago for a reason that I've forgotten blush. I also like Scala Radio and Classic fm.

Me too kittylester, I’ve stopped listening in the afternoon

Same here. If I’m gardening I listen to Classic FM. I miss Steve Wright.

*casdon*, I would like him to take over from Scott Mills.

eddiecat, Mary Hopkins isn't what I would call 'up to date'. Do they play Jake Shears for instance?

Or Lizzo?

Boom does play up to date music too - everything from the 50s to the present day plus lots of rarely heard album tracks. They are currently playing a brand new release from Mary Hopkins.
I don't mind the adverts - they feature a lot of small businesses which makes a nice change.Also the presenters are of a "mature" age and talk about things I relate to.
But as you say, horses for courses

I’ve switched to Greatest Hits Radio. Love Ken Bruce.

I like Gary Davies better than either Zoe or Vernon Kay. They are both awful in my opinion.

I agree.

Try Boom Radio - it's brilliant!

Not my cup of tea at all eddiecat78, I want to hear up to date music as well as old stuff, and I don’t like adverts. It’s horses for courses I know, but I’ll be sticking with Radio 2, and hoping Gary will be covering somebody else soon, or better, is given a daytime show of his own.

I cannot believe that Zoe is still there! How?!

I surprise myself by agreeing with you casdon.

I think Gary Davies has done a terrific job on Radio 2 for the last almost 3 months. He took over from Ken Bruce when everybody was upset that Ken was going, and for the last two and a half weeks he’s been covering for Zoe.
Credit where it’s due, it can’t have been easy but he’s really brightened up my mornings, he’s really positive and funny. Well done Gary!
