Ffs if you don't give a toss about Glastonbury are you supposed to just not listen to Zoe Ball this week?

[Nextphonewontbesamsung]

She must have said Glastonbury 200 times already this morning.

She's running a competition, they rang back a woman who had entered the competition presumably of her own volition who sounded completely flummoxed to hear from them "oh my God I just got out the shower" and then didn't even know the 3 word saying she was supposed to give to ZB. Fucking cringe!

The dumb-ness of it is doing my head in. But can't hack R4 first thing.

I’ve gone over to Virgin radio with Chris Evans at breakfast time

Stopped listening to Radio 2 in the mornings as I find her TOO ANNOYING - You have my complete sympathy OP

5 Live in the morning for me.

She won’t last. Too many lost listeners that’s why Radio 2 keep advertising her show.

She hasn't lost 'too many' listeners, she has an audience of 9.05m which is almost unchanged from 9.07m before she took over.

Are you complaining about Zoe Ball going on about Glastonbury. That wouldn't bother me as it's a huge event. Or are you chatting about the woman who wasn't bothered about the competion?

Greg James. Radio 1.

Both, nacd.

Glastonbury is a huge event - agreed. Most people who really want to go will have tickets by now.

I doubt most of her 9.07 million listeners want to hear it mentioned in every single link! It's too much.

Anyway, I've turned it off as it was car-crash radio with that dumb competition entrant.

Classic FM for me. I can't be doing with too much noise in the morning.

Smooth FM here.

6 music here.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Planet Rick for me. Not too heavy first thing in the morning!!I like Paul Anthony and Wyart from 10.00 is good with his rants and observations!

Meant Wyatt

Jesus wept, Planet Rock
Must go to Specsavers!!!

Why does she talk in that awful breathy way? I want to support her but I find her inane.

Radio 1 do the same stupid phone ins with stupid competition entrants who don't answer .
Love R1 but I mute the call back parts.

🤣
Most radio shows do.

I remember as a little kid my mum and nan howling at people on Radio City playing ' Hold your plums' with Billy Butler. Some couldn't answer the most simple of questions. ' Give us a clue Billy' became a catch phase in our house when someone didn't know something!!
Old Radio City listeners may know what I mean!!

No going they keep advertising the show because its the flag ship show and the highest rating breakfast show

But all stations lead advertising with their breakfast show line up.

Radio 1 - greg james
Radio 2 - zoe ball
Radio 4 - the today programe - john humphies
Radio 5 - nicky cambell

Heart - jamie and amanda
Magic- ronan amd harriett
Virgin- chris evans
Absolute- dave berry
Capital- roman kemp

Bet you dont see big pictures of amgie greaves or nick snaith on the side of buses advertising magic. (You don't because the campaign doesnt exist) its Ronan and Harrietts faces. Bet you can't name the afternoon presenter on heart. No because there os no advertising of it but we all know jamie and amanda/emma.

Agreed. I think national radio/tv presenters live in a little media bubble where they think we all care about Glastonbury/Love Island etc.

When I am queen of the world I will ban public participation in radio shows - I really don't care what Gary in Essex thinks that X football manager should do with the team he's paid £££ to manage!

I agree. It was the same when Chris Evans was in r2 with the 500 word story competition and the auctions for charity. The whole programme was hijacked. Ok if you're interested but a turn off if you're not.

Radio 5 or X depending on mood here

I haven't done radio in the morning for years. It's such a relief not to have people jabbering on about inane nonsense first thing.

Do yourself a favour and try it

I totally agree. I can't listen to ZB anymore. Mainly because I can't understand what she's bloody saying as she talks so fast, low and quietly most of the time. She makes me cringe. Glad I got that off me chest

When my teens are in the car I have Kiss playing. The music is not to my taste always (!), but in its defence, when the presenters call people the conversations are mercifully short.

I remember a R2 presenter talking to someone who was getting ready for a hen party and wanted a shoutout for the bride-to-be, and all you could hear were silly overexcited women squealing in the background because they were on the radio.

I think I ageee with the PP who used the word “inane”.
