Yeah Boogie and Dingo have been in that Saturday morning slot for years. Yeah Alex James does lots of shows across the England stations. He is also on breakfast on Radio Aire at the moment.
Who did Key 103 have on Saturday mornings
Alex has been on my local station (Aire) on breakfast for over a month now, and given he has left Sunday breakfast, it could be for longer.
Key had Darren Proctor - he is very good on the Hot 20.
Bowie at Breakfast on Clyde 1 has been a bit strange this week (sorry for only posting this now I have been super busy) they are obviously doing a stunt of some sorts. Yesterday George Bowie left during the show as he had received a letter about inheritaning money as his 'Uncle' had died and left him £11 million he was meant to give them his bank details but George decided to go and see the barrister in person. so his travel presnter Cassie booked him a flight to Tome togo. And Knoxy the mid morning presenter finished his show for him.
It was obvious that it was a scam.
Today Grant Thomson was covering for George after getting a call at 4.30am asking him to cover as George wasnt back.
Then Grant phoned George and he was trying to find the guy.
I havent a clue what it is all about. Im in England right now so Wont really be able to listen tomorrow unless I use the app

Or he was off to the Arqiva Awards in London that evening. Just a thought.
So we are being lead to believe after the recent developments at Radio City. The end could be near for the local shows on the bauer city 1 stations between 10am - 2pm.

Radio City are proposing to drop the number of locally-made hours it broadcasts during the week every day from 10 to 7. But currently they broadcast 12 hours of locally made shows a day.
If it dropped to 7 hours that would be the same as the global stations e.g Heart, capital and smooth.

They don't need to put in a request to make that change do they?
Yes because the format is linked to the broadcast frequency. It therefore is in fact two requests in one. With the dropping of live football commentary on City it looks like the 96.7 output could be totally music as the requests do not appear to include any provision for City 2 and Talk to share programmes with other stations. 96.7 is thus fully positioned to take on "Capital Liverpool/Juice" whilst the City 2 gains it's own local breakfast and drive time show weekdays and four hour local shows on Saturday and Sunday if the requests are granted which is an increase in local content.

Does sound like they are preparing to take on Capital
City 2 will be sharing programmes with the other greatest hits stations outwith breakfast and drive time. Also I can see the talk in which is currently on city 2 being put on City talk
This weekend's Saturday Show will be hosted by Boogie and Arlene Stuart who co hosts with Boogie on his breakfast show on Forth 1;as Dingo is on holiday in Australia
At the moment Bauer have 12 hours of local shows but if they do cut the local 10-2 show I can see them changing to*
6am local breakfast
10am networked show in England I think the host will be Darren Proctor*but Adam Catterall could move from the Key 103 home run and become the networked presenter with Darren Proctor taking over Drive time on key 103.
in Scotland I think the host will be either Knoxy or Grant Stott
2pm old skool and anthems
3pm Local drivetime
That would mean 8 hours of local shows unless they extend old skool and anthems to 4pm and have a 3 hour drivetime
Of course this is all speculation they might not scrap the daytime 10am - 2pm show
Don't agree about the breakfast show, I just find Steve and Karen annoying to listen to.
I have never listened to Steve and Karen but they do seem to be popular am I right that Metro hired them after they had been on another station and the other station stopped them going on metro for a few months.
I have listened to Stu and Kelly and they are entertaining

Aston Merrygold of Jls fame and now doing solo stuff is following his fellow JLS band Member Marvin by having a go at a radio show. As next Sunday Aston Merrygold will be hosting Paddy's Sunday Dinner while Paddy is away
Yeah, Arlene sounded good. They work together on Forth 1 so it's a combination that will naturally work. Dingo's off for a "few weeks", so Arlene will be doing the show for that time with Boogie I presume.

Quite apt that he sounds like a cider as anything to do with his crap band and McGuiness drives me to drink.

Unless Boogie is taking some time off again but he was off last week, then it might be Stu and Kelly again

Key had Darren Proctor - he is very good on the Hot 20.
I have listened to that a few times and his midweek show on Key 103 from 10am - 2pm via the key 103 app
Metro breakfast is also the strongest breakfast show in Newcastle by far.
It was obvious that it was a scam.

Maybe as George never went to the Bauer awards so maybe he went to the Arqiva Awards instead.
Just checked his twitter
Back without my 11 million, think it might have been a scam. Why did nobody tell me? While I was away Clyde won 3 big radio awards in London.
He must have been in London
Where's this come from?

I've seen the request to swap Radio City 2 with City Talk but nothing on reduction of local hours for Radio City.
