I speak as someone who's never actually won one of course
That's a shame.
If the actual more in tune listeners had a casting vote instead of industry insiders, you would definitely get my vote to make up for you missing out in the past.
Mr Bacon was as well briefed as usual today.
Talking to Michelle Collins, (who is leaving Corrie) he asked her if she will miss being Landlady in the Rovers Return, and she had to correct him and say she left the Rovers a year ago.
Richard Bacon is always well briefed on the only subject in which he has a real interest----Himself.
YUK! At first I thought it was written by the cringeworthy Owen Jones. No wonder The Independent is on its' way out, according to industry commentators
The award will be for everyone involved in the show.
The award for "Best (i.e. only) breakfast programme with a staggered start and where one co-presenter doesn't have the courtesy to wait until his scheduled start time".
That's nonsense of course,I'm quite proud it's got to 230 pages and grateful to posters who have made it so whatever their viewpoints....
having said that you must have done a lot of flicking through all those 230 pages to justify that comment as I don't recognise your handle as a regular on here at all if ever before TBH...
it's disingenuous to say such a thing to people who regularly post here whether we agree with each other or not ....
Oh I see you need to be 'a regular' to be able to have an opinion, I have looked at loads of the posts over a long period then formed my light hearted view. Only someone with a huge ego would view it otherwise, that's only my opinion of course 😉
I know I seem to have call to criticise this sort thing around this time of year every 12 months or so, but again it's disappointing to hear that Radio 5 Live have prioritised their usual Friday Premier League Preview programme with Dan Walker ahead of live commentary on tonight's crucial Championship game, Leicester City v Sheffield Wednesday, commentary of which (simulcast from BBC Radio Leicester) is on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra instead.
I know the Premier League holds more sway and commands more interest with the public than the Football League, and people have argued in favour of why 5 Live opt to do Premier League discussion over non-PL commentaries on Monday and Friday nights on here in the past, but I think on occasions like tonight - when the game in question is particularly significant to the promotion/title race - few would disagree that they should be prioritising Football League commentaries ahead of their usual output.
Leicester City only need a couple of victories to guarantee promotion to the Premier League, and should they win tonight and other results go their way tomorrow, they'll be a top flight club come 5pm on Saturday night. For me, this sort of game - one that is massive to the promotion race to the Premier League - should trump mere discussion about said league.

No you don't have to be a regular to have an opinion,all posters are welcome but seeing as you are obviously new to this thread but when you say something like that all the posts less the anti Campbell/Derbyshire it begs the question how you would know this.
I realise it's a quip but when you've hardly been here 5 minutes to knock the previous history of posts isn't really etiquette.
Yes they're are a lot of such posts and equally there are people who often counter these.
A mostly reasonable conversation is the result and everyone vents their opinion... no problem..
So welcome to the thread hope you enjoy posting more often
I wish 5live would stop the annoying F1 trailer.....
yes there's been rule changes but it's not "old school racing" its now a fuel saving exercise....Senna and Hunt would be horrified it is not like the glory days anymore.........
especially as calling something old school is naff like seeing an MP playing football on a publicity visit to a school or sports function...
YUK! At first I thought it was written by the cringeworthy Owen Jones. No wonder The Independent is on its' way out, according to industry commentators
This just shows the split. BBC Management, Guardian, Observer and Independent readers in the minority on one side but getting their opinion heard over and beyond the majority,
I am afraid I am not an industry professional, Station ID is that man.
As for being in "a considerable minority here" it's little wonder as anyone who expresses any positive comments on here face negative responses. I am sure that the comments of a few on here do not represent the bulk of the Five Live audience but you know that already.
Keep the witch hunt up though, I am sure the victims are looking in now and then and having a wee laugh to themselves.
No witch hunt we just want a station built on news current affairs, politics and the all important sport. Minority group misery hour with Derbyshire, Bacon over selling himself and Nolan barking up the wrong tree again does not cut the mustard. No wonder Talk Sport is on the up and Five is sadly in decline.

They've got an even more annoying advert/trailer now; "On digital, online, on smartphone, on tablet, (on kitchen sink, on the microwave blah blah blah)
Respect to the guy who's on Nolan at the moment, he's trying to raise money for a great cause, but isn't Nolan lapping all of this up. He's in his element. It's truly sickening
Its Saturday morning and the radio stays tuned to 5 permanently for nearly 36 hours - excluding Savage of course. Tunes to Lbc when the dreaded Sunday evening repeats come on.
Respect to the guy who's on Nolan at the moment, he's trying to raise money for a great cause, but isn't Nolan lapping all of this up. He's in his element. It's truly sickening
That's Nolan!!
Are the BBC allowed to give so much air time for what was basically a charity appeal?
Fine giving out a website address, but auto donate text numbers to get impulse donations was a bit much IMO.

Ah. So the female writer is a fan of Vic D. Ergo The independent is on its way out.. They've been saying the same thing for the last 5 years....a bit like what some economists have been saying about the euro. I guess NOTW beat them to it..,thankfully

The minority? Says who? As usual your perception that this thread speaks for the vast majority of 5 Live listeners is somewhat misplaced.

Quelle surprise - another puff piece from one of the sisterhood at the Guardian/Observer/Independent.
I know the Premier League holds more sway and commands more interest with the public than the Football League, and people have argued in favour of why 5 Live opt to do Premier League discussion over non-PL commentaries on Monday and Friday nights on here in the past, but I think on occasions like tonight - when the game in question is particularly significant to the promotion/title race - few would disagree that they should be prioritising Football League commentaries ahead of their usual output.

It sounds like Bacon wrote it.
Off to radio 4 then

And they now employ Daleks to voice the ads.
Some would say weekday mornings too.
