indeed. too much yapping at the minute although Magic Mystery Voices always gives them a RAJAR boost - its a bit pricey though as promos go.
The advantage of Buble's pre-recorded show is that they are actually live for Saturday drive for once and doing traffic updates which are noticably absent from Gary Vincents pre-recorded show

Is it important for Magic to have live traffic updates? It's seem that they fit it in when they want, but do the listeners notice apart from some on here?
I think it's important for Magic to have travel updates, as London being a capital city- people there will always want to know which roads are gridlocked, which tube lines have delays etc... and opening up the mic a bit more would be good, they hardly ever speak now as it is! All the dj's must feel like robots, only speaking for a few seconds 3 times an hour!
I think the reason Sandy Heath 103 just wrote Sundays instead of Saturdays, is because he was thinking of The Saturdays so it made him get in a muddle.
I bet Michael Buble on this show will make a lot of verbal errors that connect with the words in Haven't Met You Yet, Home, Hollywood etc. I won't bother listening though as I'm not too keen on magic 105.4 or Michael Buble personally.
Michael Buble is to present a show every saturday afternoon upto christmas on Magic
How naff - a young bloke singing songs like as if this were the 1940's. If it were Jazz FM he was joining I could understand it. I used to like Magic but Buble's the last straw as far as I'm concerned.
I Do Think Magic 105 .4 Should

Liked The Other Magic Stations Do That Would Be Good

It'd sound off-target for a station which doesn't share the same playlist as the Magic AM network.
Emap experimented with networking the FM format on AM around about 10 years ago and it bombed.
So naff that he's sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
That only proves he's popular with his particular audience and reminds me of what a work colleague said when Boney M became the biggest selling act for a while in the 1970's.
"The population of the country is 50 million, 250,000 sales will put a record top of the singles charts. So one in two hundred of the public purchased the record, that doesn't convince me the public necessarily likes them".
With 35m sales he's found his niche audience and thats great for him. Whether a latter day Dean Martin crooner can lift magics profile and ratings that remains to be seen.
Heart are promoting Michael B, and Magic have him prestenting a show, wouldn't it be best if Heart got him to present a show on the station? They could have in place if Jason Donovan whilst he was on Strictly.

Is that because Magic AM in the north (and DLT's show) is mostly a Gold type format (Gold is mostly in the South) and the London Magic station is more of a contemporary easy listen station (and Michael Buble fit's in well)
Maybe Bauer and Global could work together and put DLT's show on Gold for the south, where DLT will feel more at home, but doubt it! at least it is on the internet for those who want to listen.
I agree with SH103 - Magic was a winner when it didn't have any clutter. I do think the brand has been diluted since Richard Park left. But it's still a cracking station.
I Do Hope Bauer And Global

Michael Buble simply defines what Magic's brand values.
He is the perfect artist for Magic - and has been for five or six years now!
Perhaps thats partly the reason I started getting bored with Magic and their seemingly repetitively small playlist. Nowadays we find we're listening to Smooth as our station of choice.
A pity really when one considers we were listening to Magic back in 2003 when they hardly rated, well before they rose to the top of the listening charts (in London anyway), now they seem to be falling quicker than a meteorite and I'm not overly surprised.
Yes I know that Smooth play a fair amount of Buble, but they also seem to have a huge playlist.

Easy.
Very true. Saturdays from 3pm
The very same Michael Buble who has just released a Christmas album which will undoubtedly be on heavy rotation on Magic in the run up to Christmas.
That's a good coup for them:)
Surely they should be keeping it closed more!

Here's three things I'd do:
Get back to tight format "more music, less talk". Magic's become way too chatty.
Remove the weak songs that have been added to Selector in the past 18 months.
Cut the promo clutter right back.

I've tried to this of a worse programming idea for Magic105.4 and its hard to come up with one.
Maybe Bauer and Global could work together and put DLT's show on Gold for the south, where DLT will feel more at home, but doubt it! at least it is on the internet for those who want to listen.
