JK and Lucy on Heart London and Heart extra breakfast next week Jenni Falconer is on drive time with James Merritt on 4am to 6am

Strange Margherita usually covers Drive?

He is good

JK and Lucy remain on Heart London and Heart extra breakfast next week

Jenni Falconer stays on drive time with Lucy Ellis on early breakfast 4am to 6am

Last week Heart Devons Leigh Jones covered Heart Somerset breakfast so did two shows in one day. Wonder why Jenni didn't couldn't do the same

I can imagine they are on a vastly different shift rate; so Jenni wouldn't need to (or even want to)

So she would be on air from 4am till 6, up at what, 2am. Home for a few hours kip then back at the studio mid afternoon for a drive time show. Home at 8 perhaps, quick meal then off to bed.

Would YOU fancy doing that, even just for a week?

This isn't something which happens all that often remember heart London have far more cover presenters available to them than regional's do

Joel Ross did breakfast in Birmingham and covering for Roberto 7pm to 10pm from London for 2 weeks a few years back just imagine what time he was getting back to Birmingham from London then back on air from 6am

How many Heart frequencies do all of you pick up, I get 96.6 (My Local One), 97.6 and 106.2 plus the 3 I get on DAB (4 Counties, Extra and London). It seems theres no getting away from it!

Caroline Flack joins heart on a £100,000 contract she will work with Gethin Jones

That wasnt ment to come out yesterday! Global officially launch "company news" via Instagram nowdays.

FM
102.7 peterborough (localish one)
103.0 cambridge
103.3 milton keynes
96.9 bedford
97.6 dunstable
96.6 northampton
106.2 london (can be heard just about through the static regularly)

DAB
heart peterborough
heart cambridge
heart extra

thats way too much of the same networked turgid shite for me.
surely they cant be allowed to have all these frequencies when most of what they have overlap.
in my area (peterborough) we have it in 102.7 but the signal on 96.9 from bedford aint that much worse and 103 cambridge aint that far behind that.
actually 96.9 from bedford can reach to at least give or take a little half way between peterborough and doncaster.

I wonder who she will replace. I'm hoping Stephen & Emma on a sunday.

Its either them or it will be Toby Antis on a Saturday

Emma's going on Maternity leave so could be Stephen and Emma as temp and Jamie and Emma B long term? Wouldn't have thought they'd have had JK & Lucy followed by another double act

Is who's on heart still going?...........yawn

Yep still only one guessed

Looks like the A-Z of Who's On Heart wrong guesses is out

http://www.heart.co.uk/win/whos-hear...sses-revealed/

I get;

105.1 (Cornwall)
97.0 (Devon - Plymouth)
101.2/101.9 (Devon - South Hams)
and sometimes 103.0 (Devon - Exeter)

Devon is an odd county for Heart as it comprises 5 different licence areas (Plymouth Sound / Gemini Exeter / Gemini Torbay / Lantern / South Hams Radio) - any other counties have as many? They still have localisers for Breakfast etc saying "Waking up Plymouth / Exeter etc)

Heart kicked off with Outcast Heya. London cut off the end and Sussex just let it play to the end. Any reason why they do that?

Local shows so I think the local presenter has control over songs playing correct me if im wrong.

The song order is decided centrally but the local presenters decide when to play them

£100'000 just to do one show a week on the radio surely not ? I wonder how that compares to other presenters dj's anyone have any ideas ?

Lionel Richie's all night long played on club classics on Friday night don't recall hearing it before on club classics

Also odd that South Hams Radio's area is pretty much covered by either Heart Torbay or Heart Plymouth, this station was more along the lines of Palm or Radio X as an alternative to the main stations so don't get how Global managed to get away with branding this as Heart without the competition authorities getting involved, I guess it was so tiny that nobody noticed.

The South Hams transmitters are pretty much just needed to fill the weak signal gap between Torbay and Plymouth.

Torbay and Plymouth only about 30 miles apart so was always strange to licence another station between these two.
