Choice of BBC Announcers/presenter s

I completely agree. This has come up on GN before and someone will probably pop up shortly to say it doesn’t matter as long as the viewer/listener understands what is being said.
I take the view that anyone who works in broadcasting should speak clearly - that’s the whole point of it. Anything that distracts from clarity, as in the examples above, makes them unsuitable for the job. It’s like someone who can’t sing very well becoming a professional singer or someone with no knowledge of medicine becoming a doctor (slight exaggeration there but you know what I mean).
Whenever I get into an argument about this (and incorrect grammar) I always say that if you had the task of teaching English to a non-English speaker, you wouldn’t say ‘pronounce everything the way you fancy and don’t worry about tenses or verb/noun agreement, would you?’

There was a topic on Woman’s Hour recently and 3 women were discussing some subject and ALL 3 of them dropped the G on words ending in ING. Walkin, fishin, doin. ☹️

I’ve already written to the BBC and complained when the weather presenter said ‘off of’.

The BBC have lowered their standards.

I think some people are unable to pronounce a th, a bit like people who cannot pronounce rs. However I find it really annoying too.

I did write to the BBC to complain about her Majesty's funeral being announced as the funeral of Queen Elizabeff , which just about put the tin hat on it for me.

It's the between-programme announcer on BBC tv that infuriates me. He has a sort of smug chuckling-at-his-own-private-joke way of speaking which is extremely grating. I don't know why he's needed at all.

When my son was little I taught him to pronounce th instead of v.
I'm constantly shouting at voice over presenters to speak properly.
I am all for regional accents too, but slovenly pronunciation is annoying.

Been mentioned before on GN, but I find Alex Jones on The One Show has the most awful screechy voice.

Cannot imagine how she has got where she is with her dreadful squawk.
