Anyone else hate the stupid “facts” that Ellie is coming out with on Vernon Kay’s show?

I’m not sure why it irritates me so much. Don’t get me started on Sara Cox’s new show

It's irritating maybe because they are transparently trying to make her a 'personality' like Ritchie and the facts feature is a bit of a clunky way to do that. I always find it strange because I used to (naively) think that the travel presenters were, like, experts in transport and that weather presenters were professional meteorologists, so for them to suddenly start acting like DJs and celebrities feels odd.

I love Sara but the breakfast show is awful, my dc have left home, I don’t want to listen to kids in a car at 8.15 or someone being surprised and asked rubbish questions. I’m considering going to Chris Evan’s instead - although he talks too much at least it’s not to children.

The daytime schedule has gone to pot since they sacked mills - whose breakfast show had really come into its own. I too love Sara normally but I can't get on with her at breakfast sadly. Too many jingles, too loud, weird quiz, she works best chatting to the public I feel. Not keen on Vernon trying to be funny and daytime Trevor was boring 🙈
As for drive time, I've checked out, I'm not interested in TV personalities, I've gone to Simon Mayo on greatest hits radio. I'll come back if they get OJ in.
I love keaveney in the sounds of the 70s slot and sounds of the 80s has just about managed to paper over the gaping Saturday teatime hole Liza T left so it's not all bad. Pick of the Pops, Blackburn and Gambo are still class though.
