February 19, 20233 yr I hope Radio 2 will add the new Depeche Mode song to their playlist, they did play it the other day

February 24, 20233 yr Author Vernon Kay is set to take over from Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2’s mid-morning show from May. Zoe, Scott, Sara and now Vernon makes for a refreshing change and they're all ex-Radio 1 presenters from a similar time. It's just Jeremy now that sticks out like a sore thumb in the schedule :kink:
February 25, 20233 yr Zoe, Scott, Sara and now Vernon makes for a refreshing change and they're all ex-Radio 1 presenters from a similar time. It's just Jeremy now that sticks out like a sore thumb in the schedule :kink: It’s in the key commitments of the license that they provide a news led discussion programme during daytime hours so they’re stuck with having to provide that sort of programme, unless they try to change the conditions of the license, though they will most likely change the presenter at some point.

February 25, 20233 yr Some great additions this week, I particularly love the Ghost and Sophie tracks and Jessie/Niall/DM are decent too. Good to see 'Trustfall' going strong too! Edited February 25, 20233 yr by Mangø

Oh the show I don't mind I just feel like maybe someone else could take the reigns? Tina Daheley always felt like a good fit if she were to ever move on from Breakfast News.
February 25, 20233 yr Ooh yay I got my wish with Depeche Mode being added to the Radio 2 playlist :cheer: A-List at that *.*
February 25, 20233 yr I've only heard the song once quite a while ago but 'Spillways' strikes me as surprisingly heavy for Radio 2 iirc?
February 25, 20233 yr Author I would imagine it's the Joe Elliott feature making it attractive to R2 plus they've got the The Rock Show where Johnnie Walker has been supporting it too

March 4, 20233 yr Nice to see them supporting Ghost even if it isn't MOAC lol. 'Spillways' is also pretty solid!
March 5, 20233 yr Author Oooh Lemar, there's a name I haven't seen or heard for many a year! Just like Freya he did the Piano Room so I had expected a playlist spot. They do support his music still but not as frequently
March 5, 20233 yr Just like Freya he did the Piano Room so I had expected a playlist spot. They do support his music still but not as frequently In all honesty I legitimately thought he hadn't released anything since about 2009 or whatever.
March 10, 20233 yr Great to see Freya still on the B-List for Radio 2. Would love to see it go A-list next week.
