Unless they add another local show with a swing jock?

Paul and Lynn will be on 2-6pm

Anyone know why Scotland get's "Scotland's Heart" jingles, while Wales just gets the normal "This is Heart" Jingles?

Monday in Scotland is as follows

6am Robin Galloway

10am Rich Clarke Feel Good 50

2pm Paul & Lynne

6pm Club Classics with Mark Wright

10pm Lucy Ellis

So 8 hours of local shows they are spoiling us

Wales's Heart would sound a little clunky, but I assume it's because of Scotland being the awkward squad who didn't take immediately to Heart, and stronger competition up there.

Wales also also has 2 stations

Any theme to Mknday?
Or just usual playlist,
No Music Variety?

Feel good 50 from 10am

What do you want a local show for?

I think local shows are good

I think some local shows are better than the national ones

Usual playlist then!

Just been catching up on this thread for the first time in a while - and the debate relating to the schedule page on the website. Those who argue 'normal' listeners rarely give two thoughts to who is on, especially on a heavily formatted station like Heart, are of course right. The vast majority of listeners will never go anywhere near a schedule page. Or a playlist page.

However.....

If they are important enough to be on the website in the first place, they are important enough to be kept up to date and accurate. Either make the effort to ensure they are right, or just delete them off the site so nobody at Global HQ has to bother. The playlist page hasn't been touched for weeks. Ellie Goulding's 'Army'?? Frances' 'Don't Worry About Me'?? Nathan Sykes 'Give It Up'?? That IS shoddy for a company of Global's size, regardless of how many hits the page gets. Get it right or bin it off. Simples.

What's the difference?

Local content and topics people in the area can relate too

Stevenage and Corby,,they really relate to each other...

Do nornal listeners really actually care? They listen to Heart for the music, Not the crap the presenter waffles on about.

Heart extra is still broadcasting live with JK but according to the schedule page it's not due live again till tonight and last played songs are totally different to those being played now

09:06 Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive - heart extra

09:07 Bobby Brown - Two Can Play That Game - heart London / national

Feel Good 50 is all about Hearts new album.

They have potential to be, but it's sadly just someone who sounds the same as all the others from London, talking about the same stuff no proper local content. I wish these proper local radio stations hadn't been globalised. Ofcom shouldn't allow it to happen. They're doing 1 minute news for the sake of it, mostly national anyway. Just to get in Ofcom's good books.

It's the same with the likes of Celador and other companies who come along, and network the majority of their output with not even the slightest bit of good quality local content, stealing local advertising money and wrecking good, proper local stations like 2TEN FM, Ocean, Power, Real Radio, Juice, Kestrel and loads of others.

HitMusic is right, sadly people don't actually care and don't have anything to care about anymore.

Not sure if I was hearing things last night, but during Jason Donovan's show, the first sweeper out of the news at the top of the hour had an additional "from Global" tacked onto the 'This is Heart' bit ...

Haven't heard it today, nor on any quick listens to Smooth or Gold..

Is this more Global branding being introduced ?

'This is heart from Global' ?

It was added a few weeks back
